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 Garrett Square

Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 43.0% across Cuyahoga County. Food insecurity runs 34.6% against 17.8% nationally. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.8/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Housing insecurity runs 26.0% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 0.9 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6. Average gross rent is $816, 14% below the Cleveland average.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

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