What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 157 evictions over 12 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.7% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2007 at 8.7% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Cleveland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
