Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Westown
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.
The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 531 evictions over 12 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2011 at 12.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Cleveland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 10.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
