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 Brookside

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Cost burden runs roughly one in two here against 43.0% across Cuyahoga County.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. SNAP participation runs 24.4% against 15.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 329 evictions over 12 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2013, when 4.0% 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.

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