Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Kames
Against Summit County at 41.2%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 2.1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 624 filings here across 17 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 10.6% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 12.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
The worst year on record was 2003, when 10.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.6% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
