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 Linden Hill

This is renter territory: 96% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Average gross rent is $1,249, 31% below the New York average. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity runs 26.8% against 17.8% nationally. Against Kings County at 49.3%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Housing insecurity runs 21.9% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2.

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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

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.
