Van Aken District Eviction Risk: Lower , Shaker Heights

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,390, 19% above the Shaker Heights average. Court records carry 337 eviction filings across 12 observed years. The voucher gap is 15.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2013, when 4.5% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 3.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
