Quilliams Highlands maps to a single census tract in Cleveland Heights, OH, population 1,542. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 41%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Cleveland Heights rate of 30.2%. The poverty rate is 35%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Food insecurity affects 29.6% of adults, 11.8 points above the national rate.
Court records for this tract carry 339 eviction filings. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 20.5% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 39.5% in 2016 against a 20.5% peak. That places it #1 of 18 neighborhoods in Cleveland Heights. For a like-for-like read, Crestwood and Forest Hill Overlook score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 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.
