Castle Eviction Risk: Lower , Akron

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 41.2% across Summit County. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Food insecurity runs 7.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.4% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 217 eviction filings across 17 observed years.

It sits 0.8 points below the Summit County average of 4.1. At $1,078 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Akron commands.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 3.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 2.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $83,575, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
