Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Garrett Square
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 30.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Cost burden runs 56% here against 43.0% across Cuyahoga County. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
Disability prevalence runs 44.7% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,098, 16% above the Cleveland average. The filing record is not thin: 466 evictions over 12 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2006 at 8.8% 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 10.1% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
