Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chagrin-Lee

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,146, 21% above the Cleveland average.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 298 filings here across 12 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2013, when 7.3% of renter households were served. 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 8.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6 closely.

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.
