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 Kinsman

Food insecurity runs 44.1% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 49%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. At $664 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Cleveland commands.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,026 filings here across 12 tracked years.

Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. The worst year on record was 2008, when 15.4% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Cleveland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 14.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10.

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