Corlett spans 9 census tracts of Cleveland, OH and houses 17,123 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 31.5% citywide, putting Corlett 17.7% over its own city.
33% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. 25.6% 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. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Food insecurity affects 40.5% of adults, 22.7 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 7.4/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Court records carry 4,908 eviction filings across its 8 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 19.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 10.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 57 mapped neighborhoods of Cleveland, it ranks #39 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Forest Hills and Miles Park Historic District score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 9 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
