Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in St. Clair-Superior

Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, 63% of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $16,136 and the ratio lands at 55%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Disability prevalence runs 52.0% against 31.5% nationally.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. 70% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Average gross rent is $736, 22% below the Cleveland average.

Adults with no health insurance runs 19.8% against 11.3% nationally. Court records carry 509 eviction filings across 12 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 17.5% of renter households were served.

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.
