Spicertown Eviction Risk: Moderate , Akron

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. This is renter territory: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $31,788, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. SNAP participation runs 31.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Summit County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The filing record is not thin: 1,281 evictions over 17 years of observation.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
