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 Kilbane Town

74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.2/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

It sits 1.1 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7/10.

Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters.

Average gross rent is $898, close to the Cleveland average.

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