Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade A meant wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods favored for lending. 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 Chagrin-Lee

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10.

Average gross rent is $936, 20% below the Shaker Heights average. SNAP participation runs 5.0% against 15.2% nationally. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 255 evictions over 12 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.1% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2013, when 18.9% 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 14.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

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.
