Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Highland Heights

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $39,976 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,098 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Toledo commands.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Toledo. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #41,206 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

40% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Lucas County average of 4.2 closely.

37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
