Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent Historic District

Cost burden runs 62% here against 46.6% across Chatham County. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $46,369, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Against the Chatham County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 93 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Filings peaked in 2011 at 11.6% of renter households.

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. In a typical year about 11.6% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
