Van Aken District Eviction Risk: Lower , Shaker Heights

The voucher gap is 54.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Food insecurity runs 7.2% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 4.7% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,860 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Beachwood commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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