Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Quilliams Highlands
The dominant input is economic stress at 8.8/10. The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Food insecurity runs 29.6% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 339 filings here across 12 tracked years.
Housing insecurity runs 22.0% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2005, when 20.5% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 18.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
