Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade A meant wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods favored for lending. 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 Gorge Terrace

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Against the Summit County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 123 evictions over 16 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 9.8% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2009, when 5.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 2.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $80,000, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

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.
