Lee-Seville is a 2-tract quarter of Maple Heights, OH, population 6,450. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 28.3% citywide, putting Lee-Seville 22.8% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Average gross rent is $921, 31% below the Maple Heights average of $1,338.
21.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 29%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 675 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10.
The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 16.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 9.3% in 2016, is well off that peak.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
