Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Buckeye-Woodhill

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Court records carry 609 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Filings peaked in 2008 at 22.0% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 14.1% of renter households face a filing.

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.
