Asiatown Eviction Risk: Elevated , Cleveland

This is renter territory: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Cost burden runs 53% here against 43.0% across Cuyahoga County.

Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $34,044, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. Food insecurity runs 30.3% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

SNAP participation runs 24.8% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 355 evictions over 12 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2007 at 7.2% of renter households.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.

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.
