Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Highland Park

At $1,004 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of Austintown commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. 35% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Mahoning County average of 42.6%.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Against the Mahoning County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 423 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

The voucher gap is 13.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Filings peaked in 2013 at 11.2% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Youngstown. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 9.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
