Forest Hills Eviction Risk: Elevated , Cleveland

Cost burden runs 71% here against 43.0% across Cuyahoga County. Food insecurity runs 57.6% against 17.8% nationally. Disability prevalence runs 52.5% against 31.5% nationally.

Set annual rent against average income of $31,133 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.

Running hot, economic stress reads 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 429 evictions over 12 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2007, when 13.4% of renter households were served.

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 10.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
