Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Karlin
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Housing insecurity runs 29.5% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Court records carry 1,106 eviction filings across 12 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2011 at 22.0% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 14.8% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
