Maple Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

Set annual rent against average income of $53,155 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The voucher gap is 28.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 28.6% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.8/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. Food insecurity runs 29.5% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Average gross rent is $1,547, 16% above the Maple Heights average. Court records carry 325 eviction filings across 12 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 14.9% of renter households were served. 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 9.3% of renter households face a filing.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
