Vassar Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Canton

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. It sits 1.6 points above the Stark County average of 4.1.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.7/10.

The filing record is not thin: 1,975 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 29.5% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 17.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $830, close to the Canton average.

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