Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Lincoln Heights

This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Disability prevalence runs 19.2% against 31.5% nationally. Against Cuyahoga County at 43.0%, 36% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

The voucher gap is 17.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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