Fairmount Taylor Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,638 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Fairmount Taylor maps to a single census tract in Shaker Heights, OH and houses 2,638 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Shaker Heights rate of 25.4%.

38% 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. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. Food insecurity affects 4.1% of adults, 13.7 points below the national rate.

The filing record is not thin: 18 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10.

2.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 3.7% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $1,263, 8% above the Shaker Heights average of $1,168. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.9% in 2016 against a 3.7% peak.

Only 10% 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 $250,001, annual rent is only 6%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 2%, 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
