Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Glenwood Hills
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Erie County average of 4.3.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 15 evictions over 6 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2003, when 3.8% 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 3.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10.
