Grafton Hills is a 4-tract neighborhood of Brunswick, OH, population 16,132. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Brunswick rate of 28.5%. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filings are well documented here: 76 across 2 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 9.6% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.7% of adults, 8.1 points below the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 3.4% in 2018, is well off that peak. At $1,077 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Brunswick commands. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Brunswick, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third.
Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Quail Hollow and Laurel Creek score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
With little internal variation, 3.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
