Gateway District Eviction Risk: Elevated , Cleveland

97% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The voucher gap is 28.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.2/10.
