Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Riverside Park
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. At $678 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Cleveland commands.
The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Court records carry 487 eviction filings across 12 observed years. The worst year on record was 2013, when 11.9% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 6.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $53,368, annual rent is just 15%.
