Akron context
That single explosive decade of rubber-boom growth left Akron and its surrounding Summit County communities with a large concentration of housing built quickly, within a narrow window, to house factory workers arriving from across the country and abroad. A century later, that same housing stock -- along with the postwar suburban rings that filled in around it -- is aging in concentrated waves, which is why roofing, water management, and drainage work in the Akron area often shows up neighborhood by neighborhood rather than house by house.
