West Akron Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs roughly three in four here against 41.2% across Summit County. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.

Housing insecurity runs 29.4% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Disability prevalence runs 45.0% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Summit County average of 4.1. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 1,733 evictions over 17 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 13.4% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 10.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
