The severe-burden share is 38%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 51.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Annualized rent equals 49% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.2/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.8 to 6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Disability prevalence reaches 45.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Court records carry 2,804 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 28.9% of renter households. Average gross rent is $849, 10% below the Cleveland average of $945.
