Sherbondy Hill spans 3 census tracts of Akron, OH and houses 4,429 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Akron rate of 31.7%.
The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.7/10. Food insecurity affects 39.5% of adults, 21.7 points above the national rate.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Filings are well documented here: 2,190 across 3 observed tracts.
Disability prevalence reaches 43.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. At $820 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Akron commands.
The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 15.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 11.4% in 2018 against a 15.9% peak. Among the 35 mapped neighborhoods of Akron, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, East End and Temple Square score within a fraction of it.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
