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 Hough
Food insecurity runs 50.3% against 17.8% nationally. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.9/10.
Disability prevalence runs 49.3% against 31.5% nationally. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Against the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.
Cost burden runs 35% here against 43.0% across Cuyahoga County. 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. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 9.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
