Gorge Terrace Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,057 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3.1–3.1

Gorge Terrace is a one-tract neighborhood of Cuyahoga Falls, OH and houses 3,057 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Cuyahoga Falls rate of 25.2%.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10.

Court records for this tract carry 123 eviction filings. The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 5.3% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.8% of adults, 8.0 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2018, is well off that peak.

That places it #9 of 10 neighborhoods in Cuyahoga Falls. Only 25% 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, Creekside Ridge and Cross Creek score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,047, close to the Cuyahoga Falls average.

One tract means one number: 3.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
