Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Flats West Bank
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 60%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Food insecurity runs 35.7% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Housing insecurity runs 26.0% against 14.2% nationally.
11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,737 filings here across 12 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2004, when 51.6% of renter households were served.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
