North Collinwood Eviction Risk: Elevated , Cleveland

At $390 a month, rents run 59% under what the rest of Cleveland commands. 34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 57%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Cuyahoga County average of 43.0%. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 31.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Disability prevalence runs 52.3% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. 77% 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.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.

The filing record is not thin: 1,459 evictions over 12 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2010, when 9.3% 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.

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.
