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 Hough

Average gross rent is $369, 61% below the Cleveland average. Food insecurity runs 54.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Disability prevalence runs 58.7% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 54%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $11,511 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the high side, 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. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Cuyahoga County average of 43.0%.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
