South Akron Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

48% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Summit County average of 41.2%. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 27.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Summit County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 624 filings here across 17 tracked years. Housing insecurity runs 21.2% against 14.2% nationally.

At $1,068 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Akron commands. Filings peaked in 2016 at 12.3% of renter households.

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 11.9% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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