Fairmount Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,399 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Fairmount Heights maps to a single census tract in Cleveland Heights, OH and houses 1,399 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 30.2% citywide, putting Fairmount Heights 14.3% over its own city.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10.

The voucher gap is 17.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At $1,417 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Cleveland Heights commands. The filing record is not thin: 45 evictions logged in this tract.

Disability prevalence reaches 18.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. 3.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 5.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 18 mapped neighborhoods of Cleveland Heights, it ranks #16 by risk, the lower third. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
