Superior Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of East Cleveland, OH and houses 1,612 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.4/10, in the Elevated tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the East Cleveland rate of 37.9%.
28.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 56%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 46.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 33% 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.
This is a renter market: 96% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $23,766 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.9/10.
Court records for this tract carry 1,773 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 34.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 21.1% in 2016 against a 34.5% peak.
One tract means one number: 7.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
