Lincoln Heights maps to a single census tract in Cleveland, OH, population 3,047. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,415 a month, rents sit 50% over what the rest of Cleveland commands.
This is a renter market: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10. The voucher gap is 17.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Against a Cleveland baseline of 31.5%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate. That places it #56 of 57 neighborhoods in Cleveland.
For a like-for-like read, Goodrich-Kirtland Park and South Hills score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $84,185.
One tract means one number: 3.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
