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 Schumacher

At $1,322 a month, rents run 38% over what the rest of Akron commands. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.

The voucher gap is 16.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 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 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, 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. It tracks the Summit County average of 4.1 closely.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $77,131.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
