Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Highland Heights

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.9/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,167, 30% above the Toledo average. This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Food insecurity runs 27.8% against 17.8% nationally.

It sits 1.0 points above the Lucas County average of 4.2. Housing insecurity runs 23.1% against 14.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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