What drives eviction risk in Upper Chester
Annualized rent equals 60% of average household income of $15,769, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.
Housing insecurity runs 38.4% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 58%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Disability prevalence runs 52.4% against 31.5% nationally.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. 69% 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.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.
Average gross rent is $790, 16% below the Cleveland average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.
