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 Lambert Houses

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. Housing insecurity runs 43.8% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Set annual rent against average income of $28,955 and the ratio lands at 49%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10.

This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. At $1,190 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of New York commands.

Cost burden runs 66% here against 56.0% across Bronx County. Disability prevalence runs 45.0% against 31.5% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 788 evictions over 8 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2016 at 22.6% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Bronx. 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 22.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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