Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Riverside Park

Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, 30% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.2/10.

The voucher gap is 20.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 171 evictions over 12 years of observation.

SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2006, when 29.4% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. In a typical year about 12.9% of renter households face a filing.

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.
