West Akron Eviction Risk: Moderate

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 7.3/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Akron eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Summit County average of 5.2 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 29.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 24.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,733 eviction filings here over 17 tracked years, with about 10.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 13.4% of renter households in 2014.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
