Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Brooklyn Centre

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Food insecurity runs 31.8% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 28.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 829 filings here across 12 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $840, 11% below the Cleveland average. Filings peaked in 2016 at 12.2% of renter households.

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 13.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
