Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Barberton
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 8.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Barberton, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Summit County average of 5.2 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 8.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 6.1% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 373 eviction filings here over 17 tracked years, with about 4.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.4% of renter households in 2016.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
