Mercer Eviction Risk: Lower , Beachwood

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 120.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $2,663, 30% above the Beachwood average.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. SNAP participation runs 3.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Court records carry 50 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2010, when 6.5% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 7.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
