Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Castle Homes
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 847 filings here across 17 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 6.0% of renter households. 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 5.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 4.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. 38% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
It tracks the Summit County average of 4.1 closely. Average gross rent is $1,135, close to the Portage Lakes average.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
