Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sherbondy Hill
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
SNAP participation runs 28.5% against 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Against the Summit County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 493 filings here across 17 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2017, when 15.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Akron. 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 12.1% of renter households face a filing.
