Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Old Brooklyn
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 704 filings here across 12 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 25.9% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $842, 11% below the Cleveland average.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2010 at 10.7% of renter households.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
