Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Rolling Acres
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 8.7/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 35.6% against 17.8% nationally.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Housing insecurity runs 26.7% against 14.2% nationally.
It sits 1.3 points above the Summit County average of 4.1. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Court records carry 1,921 eviction filings across 17 observed years.
Average gross rent is $864, 10% below the Akron average. The worst year on record was 2013, when 10.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Akron. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
