Victorian Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 5,522 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.5–4.9

Victorian Village takes in 2 census tracts of Lakewood, OH, population 5,522. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.

This is a renter market: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Cost burden runs 33% against 25.1% citywide, putting Victorian Village 7.5% over its own city.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Average gross rent is $879, 18% below the Lakewood average of $1,070.

Court records for this tract carry 398 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 7.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.7% in 2016 against a 7.8% peak.

That places it #2 of 9 neighborhoods in Lakewood. The closest comparables inside the same city are Overlook Park and Gold Coast. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

With little internal variation, 4.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
