Cain Park Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 4,656 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 4.3–4.8

Cain Park Village is a 2-tract neighborhood of Cleveland Heights, OH and houses 4,656 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. 27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. Cost burden runs 39% against 30.2% citywide, putting Cain Park Village 8.3% over its own city. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10.

Filings are well documented here: 822 across 2 observed tracts. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 39.7% of renter households.

The voucher gap is 10.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At $1,336 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Cleveland Heights commands.

The most recent observed rate, 8.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 18 mapped neighborhoods of Cleveland Heights, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third. Against average income of $82,073, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 4.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
