Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Summit Lake
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
It sits 1.3 points above the Summit County average of 4.1. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.
SNAP participation runs 24.3% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 813 evictions over 17 years of observation.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2017, when 15.7% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 13.0% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6/10.
Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
