28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 25.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Housing insecurity runs 30.6% against 14.2% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $40,159 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,387 filings here across 12 tracked years.
