Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Middleburg Heights
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.8/10. At $1,385 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Middleburg Heights commands.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points.
Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10. Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 214 evictions over 12 years of observation. The voucher gap is 14.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2007, when 14.8% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 7.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
