West Park is a one-tract quarter of Cleveland, OH and houses 2,405 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 31.5% citywide, putting West Park 13.2% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. 18% 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. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
Court records for this tract carry 396 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 9.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 4.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 57 mapped neighborhoods of Cleveland, it ranks #50 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Edgewater and Tremont.
Average gross rent runs $947, close to the Cleveland average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $48,098.
36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
