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 Chagrin-Lee

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Court records carry 259 eviction filings across 12 observed years. The worst year on record was 2008, when 18.2% 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 11.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 5.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6 closely.

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.
