Rolling Acres Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,989 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Rolling Acres spans 2 census tracts of Akron, OH and houses 7,989 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Akron rate of 31.7%.

27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 18.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the high side is economic stress at 7.5/10. Court records carry 3,109 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Food insecurity affects 29.5% of adults, 11.7 points above the national rate.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 12.1% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 9.5% in 2018 against a 12.1% peak. At $894 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Akron commands. That places it #1 of 35 neighborhoods in Akron.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Arlington and East End. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
