Tuscarawas Avenue-Alexander Square Commerical Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,342 across 2 observed tracts.

SNAP participation is 24.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 7.8% of renter households. At $749 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Barberton commands.

The most recent observed rate, 3.2% in 2018, is well off that peak. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.4 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $44,513.

50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 5.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
