Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sherbondy Hill
35% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.8/10.
The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 29.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Housing insecurity runs 33.2% against 14.2% nationally.
Set annual rent against average income of $26,496 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Average gross rent is $742, 22% below the Akron average.
It sits 1.3 points above the Summit County average of 4.1. The filing record is not thin: 928 evictions over 17 years of observation.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
