Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Akron

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 5.7/10. 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 below the Summit County average of 5.2 and in line with the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,311 eviction filings here over 17 tracked years, with about 11.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 21.0% of renter households in 2008.

This tract overlaps land the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation redlined in the 1930s, a dominant grade of D ("Hazardous") across 4% of the tract. Redlining cut off mortgage credit to Black, immigrant, and working-class blocks, and those areas still tend to carry higher rent burden and eviction filings today.

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