Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lee-Seville

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 8.6/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Cuyahoga County average of 5.8 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 675 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 10.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 16.7% of renter households in 2015.

In CDC survey modeling, about 27.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 24.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
