Clark-Fulton Eviction Risk: Elevated

4 census tracts · pop 10,012 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Clark-Fulton takes in 4 census tracts of Cleveland, OH and houses 10,012 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Cleveland rate of 31.5%.

Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 39%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 8.6/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 29.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 24.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Court records carry 2,174 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 15.9% of renter households.

Among the 57 mapped neighborhoods of Cleveland, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 7.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Belvoir Village and Magnolia-Wade Park Historic District score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Its 4 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
