Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Hills
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Court records carry 315 eviction filings across 12 observed years.
Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Filings peaked in 2008 at 8.2% of renter households. 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 5.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.6/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,086, close to the Cuyahoga Heights average.
