Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Eighty-Ninth Street Historic District
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. At $351 a month, rents run 63% under what the rest of Cleveland commands.
Food insecurity runs 47.5% against 17.8% nationally. 92% 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. The poverty rate is 40%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Housing insecurity runs 34.7% against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 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: 1,404 evictions over 12 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2011, when 16.7% 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 13.4% 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.
