Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Downtown Canton
At $291 a month, rents run 66% under what the rest of Canton commands. The poverty rate is 48%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.3/10.
This is renter territory: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Disability prevalence runs 46.9% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Stark County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.
The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Housing insecurity runs 23.1% against 14.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 545 evictions over 15 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2005 at 10.7% of renter households.
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 6.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 76th 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.
