Castle Eviction Risk: Lower , Akron

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Against the Summit County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 9.1% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 69 filings here across 17 tracked years. Cost burden runs 46% here against 41.2% across Summit County.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 5.5% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Akron. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
