Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gold Coast

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.8 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.

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. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.2/10. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Average gross rent is $1,128, close to the Lakewood average.
