Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Parma Circle
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Parma eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Cuyahoga County average of 5.8 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 155 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 3.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.1% of renter households in 2008.
In CDC survey modeling, about 10.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
