Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Van Aken District
57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Cuyahoga County average of 43.0%. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.2/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best").

In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $73,150, annual rent is just 16%.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
