Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Cudell

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Food insecurity runs 30.5% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Cost burden runs 38% here against 43.0% across Cuyahoga County.

Housing insecurity runs 22.8% against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 1,019 evictions over 12 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2013, when 18.2% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 13.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
