Fruitland Park is a 6-tract neighborhood of Painesville, OH, population 22,305. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 30.9% citywide, putting Fruitland Park 17.7% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.6 to 5.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Filings are well documented here: 2,606 across 5 observed tracts. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 13.6% of renter households. At $922 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Painesville commands.
The most recent observed rate, 5.1% in 2017, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $50,221.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
