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 economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 54.5% against 15.2% nationally.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.

At $791 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Cleveland commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 900 filings here across 12 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 15.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 11.5% of renter households face a filing.
