Four Points Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 2,169 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.4–5.9

Four Points is a 2-tract neighborhood of Cleveland, OH, population 2,169. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 41% 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.

Cost burden runs 55% against 31.5% citywide, putting Four Points 23.4% over its own city. SNAP participation is 35.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Set annual rent against average household income of $32,630 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Food insecurity affects 35.5% of adults, 17.7 points above the national rate. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Filings are well documented here: 1,027 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 19.5% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 10.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #41 of 57 neighborhoods in Cleveland.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Larchmere and Kilbane Town.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
