Inability to pay a utility bill runs 40.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The poverty rate is 63%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Average gross rent is $613, 35% below the Cleveland average. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $20,602, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. The filing record is not thin: 4,536 evictions over 12 years of observation.

Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
