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 Pinckney Heights

This is renter territory: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Against the Westchester County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Westchester County average of 47.2%.

Housing insecurity runs 26.7% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,555, close to the Mount Vernon average.

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