Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Shaker Square

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10. 70% 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.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Average gross rent is $1,107, 17% above the Cleveland average. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Court records carry 1,392 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 14.5% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 10.2% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
