Bay Village Eviction Risk: Lower

At $1,489 a month, rents run 67% over what the rest of Bay Village commands. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.6/10.

Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points. The voucher gap is 23.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Food insecurity runs 5.8% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 48 evictions over 12 years of observation. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2006 at 4.6% of renter households. 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.

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.
