Cedarbrook Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,613 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

Cedarbrook maps to a single census tract in Cleveland Heights, OH and houses 1,613 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. At $922 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Cleveland Heights commands.

The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 187 evictions logged in this tract.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. 34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, slightly above the Cleveland Heights rate of 30.2%.

The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 16.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 9.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #7 of 18 neighborhoods in Cleveland Heights.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Coventry Village and Forest Hill Historic District. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
