HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Buckeye-Shaker

79% 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. Food insecurity runs 35.4% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.2/10. Average gross rent is $723, 23% below the Cleveland average.

Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,082 filings here across 12 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 11.7% of renter households. 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.
