Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Parma Circle
Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 155 evictions over 12 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2008 at 5.1% 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 3.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 24% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. It tracks the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
