Wakefield Eviction Risk: High , New York

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. Cost burden runs 44% here against 56.0% across Bronx County. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Food insecurity runs 29.0% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Bronx County average of 9.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 851 filings here across 8 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 23.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,598, 12% below the New York average. The worst year on record was 2006, when 20.5% of renter households were served.

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 16.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #6,676 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
