Gardner Heights maps to a single census tract in Euclid, OH, population 4,052. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.
Cost burden runs 42% against 30.0% citywide, putting Gardner Heights 12.3% over its own city. 19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 326 evictions logged in this tract.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 28.5% of adults, 10.7 points above the national rate. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.1/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 7.3% of renter households. At $1,089 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Euclid commands.
That places it #1 of 15 neighborhoods in Euclid. Judgments average 3.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
