Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sylvanhurst
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 8.2% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 227 filings here across 12 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 8.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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.
In a typical year about 6.7% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
