Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ridgewood Historic District

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Against the Stark County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.7/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Stark County average of 38.2%. Average gross rent is $770, 9% below the Canton average.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Canton. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $46,494. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
