Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Sugar Hill

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Food insecurity runs 40.7% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.

70% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Bronx County average of 56.0%. Housing insecurity runs 33.8% against 14.2% nationally.

This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $58,118 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Average gross rent is $1,642, 10% below the New York average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 9.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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