Summit Lake Eviction Risk: Moderate , Akron

Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Housing insecurity runs 30.1% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 1.3 points above the Summit County average of 4.1.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 900 evictions over 17 years of observation. Average gross rent is $823, 14% below the Akron average.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 21.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.
