Forest Hills Eviction Risk: Elevated , Cleveland

SNAP participation runs 38.8% against 15.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 48% of average household income of $23,601, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs 56% here against 43.0% across Cuyahoga County.

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,054 evictions over 12 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 12.7% of renter households were served. 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 11.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
