Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mayfield Heights
Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
Cost burden runs 34% here against 43.0% across Cuyahoga County. Average gross rent is $1,409, 25% above the Mayfield Heights average.
On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. The voucher gap is 16.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Court records carry 73 eviction filings across 12 observed years. It sits 0.9 points below the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. The worst year on record was 2015, when 5.4% 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 2.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
