Little Arabia Eviction Risk: Elevated , Cleveland

33% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Cuyahoga County average of 43.0%. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 29.5% against 17.8% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 840 evictions over 12 years of observation.

Housing insecurity runs 21.9% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,052, 11% above the Cleveland average. The worst year on record was 2011, when 13.9% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Cleveland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
