Kinsman takes in 4 census tracts of Cleveland, OH and houses 5,798 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, Elevated tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Cleveland rate of 31.5%.
30.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 50%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
31% 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. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.4/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $17,113 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Average gross rent is $616, 35% below the Cleveland average of $945. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10.
This is a renter market: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Filings are well documented here: 2,052 across 3 observed tracts. Disability prevalence reaches 43.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 18.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 12.3% in 2016 against a 18.8% peak.
With little internal variation, 6/10 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.
