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 Magnolia-Wade Park Historic District

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 841 filings here across 12 tracked years.

At $1,058 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Cleveland commands. The worst year on record was 2004, when 10.0% of renter households were served.

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.
