· range 3.5–3.8
Sylvanhurst takes in 2 census tracts of Lakewood, OH and houses 5,035 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 38% against 25.1% citywide, putting Sylvanhurst 12.8% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 569 across 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 8.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #9 of 9 neighborhoods in Lakewood. For a like-for-like read, West End and West Haven score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
With little internal variation, 3.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
