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 St. Clair-Superior

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

SNAP participation runs 24.5% against 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 618 evictions over 12 years of observation.

39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Cuyahoga County average of 43.0%. Average gross rent is $850, 10% below the Cleveland average. Filings peaked in 2004 at 11.3% of renter households.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.
