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 Four Points

SNAP participation runs 32.2% against 15.2% nationally. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $32,452, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, 50% of renters here are cost-burdened.

It sits 1.3 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Court records carry 604 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Filings peaked in 2013 at 16.7% 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.

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.
