Forest Park maps to a single census tract in Euclid, OH and houses 4,475 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 30.0% citywide, putting Forest Park 16.2% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. 24% 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.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 395 evictions logged in this tract.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 11.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 4.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #11 of 15 neighborhoods in Euclid. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Bliss - St. Clair and Euclid Shore score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,072, close to the Euclid average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $49,391.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
