Tallmadge Town Square Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Against the Summit County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

Court records carry 914 eviction filings across 17 observed years. SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 10.6% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2005 at 16.9% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 9.0% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $79,665, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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