HOLC grade: A: Best

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade A meant wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods favored for lending. 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 Chagrin-Lee

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.

Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, 35% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10.

Food insecurity runs 7.7% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally.

Court records carry 266 eviction filings across 12 observed years. At $1,005 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Shaker Heights commands.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 6.1% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 4.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
