Cleveland Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 51%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10.

Cost burden runs 40% against 32.3% citywide, putting Cleveland Heights 7.6% over its own city. SNAP participation is 31.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 202 eviction filings.

Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 46.0% of renter households. 18.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
