Eastway Eviction Risk: Elevated , Kent

Against the Portage County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.8 points. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. 97% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9.3/10.

The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income of $29,778, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10. Food insecurity runs 34.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Court records carry 60 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

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