At $922 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Cleveland Heights commands. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 16.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Cleveland.

Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $78,235, annual rent is just 14%.

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