Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairfax Triangle
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10. SNAP participation runs 5.4% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 8.1% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.
Court records carry 406 eviction filings across 12 observed years. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $1,039 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Shaker Heights commands.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 7.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 4.5% 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.
