East Eighty-Ninth Street Historic District Eviction Risk: Elevated

88% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Food insecurity affects 39.5% of adults, 21.7 points above the national rate.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 28.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

13% 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. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households. At $775 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Cleveland commands.

Court records carry 2,121 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 16.7% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 6.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #2 of 57 neighborhoods in Cleveland. The closest comparables inside the same city are Nottingham and Kinsman.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
