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.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8/10.

Average gross rent is $710, 20% below the Lorain average. Court records carry 275 eviction filings across 11 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.4% against 11.3% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 13.4% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Lorain. 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 5.7% of renter households face a filing.
