Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Uptown
Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, 29% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,258 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Lakewood commands.
Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 220 evictions over 12 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 9.8% 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 6.3% of renter households face a filing.
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.
