Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sherwood Forest
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,253, 30% above the Richmond Heights average. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
It sits 1.6 points below the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. Cost burden runs 50% here against 43.0% across Cuyahoga County. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
The filing record is not thin: 90 evictions over 12 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2015, when 10.8% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 8.7% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.
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.
