Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairmount Heights
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.
The voucher gap is 17.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $1,417 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Cleveland Heights commands.
Housing insecurity runs 5.6% against 14.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 45 filings here across 12 tracked years.
Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2010 at 5.4% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Cleveland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
