Canton Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 10% here against 22.0% across Blaine County. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Blaine County average of 3.9.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4 filings here across 4 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2008, when 0.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $69,861, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $734, close to the Canton average.

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