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 Pearl Village

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Lorain County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 171 evictions over 11 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2015 at 10.0% of renter households. 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.

In a typical year about 7.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
