Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Canton
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Canton eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Stark County average of 5.2 and below the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 9.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 6.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 614 eviction filings here over 15 tracked years, with about 6.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.0% of renter households in 2008.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
