Riverside Park spans 8 census tracts of Cleveland, OH, population 21,318. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Scores across the 8 constituent tracts range from 3 to 6. A 3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Cleveland rate of 31.5%. 19% 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.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records carry 2,799 eviction filings across its 8 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 29.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.3% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 57 mapped neighborhoods of Cleveland, it ranks #53 by risk, the lower third. Against average income of $61,951, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $970, close to the Cleveland average. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
