Gordon Square maps to a single census tract in Cleveland, OH, population 3,444. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 31.5% citywide, putting Gordon Square 14.0% over its own city.
This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,058 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Cleveland commands.
That places it #44 of 57 neighborhoods in Cleveland. The closest comparables inside the same city are Old Brooklyn and Whiskey Island. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $54,900.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
