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 Uptown

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Court records carry 399 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2011 at 13.2% 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 5.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
