Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Northwood
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. 49% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Cuyahoga County average of 43.0%.
Court records carry 773 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Filings peaked in 2008 at 13.3% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 9.3% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.7/10.
