Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairlawn Heights
28% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Summit County average of 41.2%. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10. Food insecurity runs 7.1% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Summit County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied.
