Briarcliff Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,434 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Briarcliff Heights maps to a single census tract in Canfield, OH, population 6,434. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 27% of renter households. 16% 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.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 37 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 5.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 1.4% of renter households. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.6% in 2016 against a 1.4% peak.

At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $99,112, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $789, close to the Canfield average.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
