Crestwood maps to a single census tract in Cleveland Heights, OH and houses 3,826 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Cleveland Heights baseline of 30.2%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 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. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The filing record is not thin: 232 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 2.7% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,109, 9% below the Cleveland Heights average of $1,216. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.0% in 2016 against a 2.7% peak.
Among the 18 mapped neighborhoods of Cleveland Heights, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, The Highlands and Quilliams Highlands score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $48,980. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
