The Kames Eviction Risk: Lower , Stow

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. about half of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Summit County average of 41.2%.

Food insecurity runs 7.1% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

It sits 1.1 points below the Summit County average of 4.1. SNAP participation runs 5.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 188 filings here across 17 tracked years. The severe-burden share is 8%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Average gross rent is $1,097, 9% below the Stow average.

Filings peaked in 2005 at 10.6% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 6.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $96,712, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
