East Canton Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 30% here against 38.2% across Stark County. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 295 filings here across 15 tracked years. Against the Stark County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 4.6% of renter households were served. At $789 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of East Canton commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

In a typical year about 3.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $59,676, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
