Brittain Eviction Risk: Moderate , Akron

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Summit County average of 41.2%.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 770 filings here across 17 tracked years.

It sits 0.7 points above the Summit County average of 4.1. The worst year on record was 2018, when 8.5% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 6.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
