Underwood maps to a single census tract in Cuyahoga Falls, OH and houses 2,383 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Cuyahoga Falls baseline of 25.2%, 69% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
28% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 437 eviction filings. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 8.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.2% in 2018 against a 8.7% peak.
That places it #1 of 10 neighborhoods in Cuyahoga Falls. For a like-for-like read, West Village and East Village score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,017, close to the Cuyahoga Falls average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $50,443.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
