Beach Cliff Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 7,163 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Beach Cliff maps to a single census tract in Rocky River, OH, population 7,163. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.

22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. Average gross rent is $971, 17% below the Rocky River average of $1,175.

The filing record is not thin: 101 evictions logged in this tract. 3.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. around a third of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little above the Rocky River rate of 27.7%.

3.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 2.6% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 1.7% in 2016 against a 2.6% peak. Only 28% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Against average income of $118,681, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
