Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tuscarawas Avenue-Alexander Square Commerical Historic District

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.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 80th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

In CDC survey modeling, about 22.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 19.1% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
