This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent Historic District

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.9/10. SNAP participation runs 3.5% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 1.1 points below the Chatham County average of 4.1. The filing record is not thin: 22 evictions over 1 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 5.1% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $127,614, annual rent is just 13%.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
