Maple Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. SNAP participation runs 28.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. 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, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.4/10.

At $1,120 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Maple Heights commands. The filing record is not thin: 266 evictions over 12 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2015 at 14.7% 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 10.4% of renter households face a filing.

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