Bellaire-Puritas Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.9 to 6, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Average gross rent is $1,116, 18% above the Cleveland average of $945. Filings are well documented here: 1,328 across 2 observed tracts.

The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 15.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Food insecurity affects 27.8% of adults, 10.0 points above the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 11.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.3% in 2016 against a 11.4% peak.

Among the 57 mapped neighborhoods of Cleveland, it ranks #47 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Shaker Square and Tremont score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
