Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bellaire-Puritas
24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10.
Food insecurity runs 33.1% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
Average gross rent is $1,107, 17% above the Cleveland average. Housing insecurity runs 23.0% against 14.2% nationally. Court records carry 827 eviction filings across 12 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 11.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 11.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
