Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Canton
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.
Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 614 evictions over 15 years of observation.
Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $932, 10% above the Canton average. The worst year on record was 2008, when 10.0% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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. Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
