Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East End
The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
Against the Summit County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 26.6% against 17.8% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 922 filings here across 17 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2003, when 22.5% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 16.0% of renter households face a filing.
