Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fourth Street Historic District

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.9/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Average gross rent is $677, 21% below the Massillon average.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.4/10. Court records carry 156 eviction filings across 15 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 15.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $67,083, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
