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 Brownsville

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. SNAP participation runs 37.1% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 38.7% against 17.8% nationally.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Set annual rent against average income of $62,157 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. 59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Kings County average of 49.3%.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 780 filings here across 7 tracked years. It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2. Filings peaked in 2001 at 16.9% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Brooklyn. 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 14.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
