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 Summit Park

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened.

It sits 1.2 points below the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 503 evictions over 12 years of observation. At $1,328 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Cleveland Heights commands.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 14.4% of renter households. 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 9.7% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
