Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Gold Coast

This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

Court records carry 1,658 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Average gross rent is $973, 9% below the Lakewood average. Filings peaked in 2006 at 21.1% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 13.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
