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 Greenpoint

Average gross rent is $2,572, 41% above the New York average. 37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Kings County average of 49.3%.

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 16.8% against 31.5% nationally.

It sits 1.0 points below the Kings County average of 9.2. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 77 filings here across 7 tracked years.

SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2000 at 1.5% of renter households. 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.

In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing.

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.
