What drives eviction risk in Van Aken District
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. At $1,348 a month, rents run 29% over what the rest of Warrensville Heights commands. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 337 evictions over 12 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2016, when 15.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 15.3% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 15% 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. Social vulnerability reads 6.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
