The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Against a Richmond Heights baseline of 22.7%, 31% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.

5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2017, is well off that peak.

One tract means one number: 4.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
