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 Old Brooklyn

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

The filing record is not thin: 359 evictions over 12 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2008, when 11.3% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Cleveland. 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 8.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 25% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.4/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $70,288, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
