Indianola Park spans 3 census tracts of Cleveland, OH and houses 11,868 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 31.5% citywide, putting Indianola Park 11.2% over its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
At $1,110 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Cleveland commands. Court records carry 1,002 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. SNAP participation is 5.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 8.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 57 mapped neighborhoods of Cleveland, it ranks #58 by risk, the lower third. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
