Grant Deming's Forest Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate , Cleveland Heights

36% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The voucher gap is 41.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,706, 40% above the Cleveland Heights average.

What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 9.1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $51,705 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Court records carry 205 eviction filings across 12 observed years. The worst year on record was 2007, when 14.6% 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 11.9% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 3.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
