Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Hill

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, economic stress reads 7.9/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Summit County average of 4.1. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 521 filings here across 17 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 23.6% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 26.1% against 17.8% nationally. Cost burden runs 46% here against 41.2% across Summit County. Average gross rent is $1,047, 10% above the Akron average.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 6.4% 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 6.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
