Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Garrett Square

What moves this score most is economic stress at 9.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from East Cleveland eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Cuyahoga County average of 5.8 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.49x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
