At $561 a month, rents run 34% under what the rest of Canton commands. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 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. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,469 filings here across 15 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2006, when 27.1% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous").
