University Heights Eviction Risk: High

The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 31 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 7.1 to 9.9, a 2.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 31.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 38.0% of adults, 20.2 points above the national rate. Set annual rent against average household income of $50,453 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. Court records carry 36,186 eviction filings across its 31 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 96.1% of renter households.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
