Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bellaire-Puritas

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

At $1,124 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Cleveland commands. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 501 evictions over 12 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 10.9% of renter households were served. 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 9.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6 closely. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $60,438.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
