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 Oak Park

SNAP participation runs 40.6% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 42%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Annualized rent equals 45% of average household income of $16,740, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $622, 35% below the Akron average.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Summit County average of 41.2%. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Housing insecurity runs 26.4% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Summit County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,628 filings here across 17 tracked years.

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.
