Stockyards is a 2-tract neighborhood of Cleveland, OH, population 7,115. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Cleveland baseline of 31.5%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 30.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Set annual rent against average household income of $32,143 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Disability prevalence reaches 46.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Filings are well documented here: 2,853 across 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 14.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 10.2% in 2016 against a 14.3% peak.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
