Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Forest Hills
Food insecurity runs 35.7% against 17.8% nationally. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.
The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened.
At $860 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Cleveland commands. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Cleveland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
