Middlebury Eviction Risk: Moderate , Akron

Against Summit County at 41.2%, about three-quarters of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 47.3% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 50%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Set annual rent against average income of $22,070 and the ratio lands at 47%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Housing insecurity runs 30.2% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Summit County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Court records carry 1,234 eviction filings across 17 observed years. At $869 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Akron commands.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 21.1% 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.

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.
