Brooklyn Centre is a 3-tract neighborhood of Cleveland, OH, population 7,281. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, Elevated tier. Against a Cleveland baseline of 31.5%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10.
Court records carry 2,663 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. 19.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 17.3% of renter households.
Running hot is economic stress at 7/10. Average gross rent is $836, 12% below the Cleveland average of $945. That places it #2 of 57 neighborhoods in Cleveland.
Judgments average 7.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
