Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wickliffe
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 5.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Lake County average of 4.8 and in line with the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 128 eviction filings here over 14 tracked years, with about 4.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 8.2% of renter households in 2008.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 41st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
