Historical context · 1930s redlining

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 Bayonne

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Cost burden runs 60% here against 46.5% across Hudson County. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Hudson Co. 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 #5,413 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $51,223.

62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
