Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Central Park South

87% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 49% here against 43.9% across Lancaster County. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.7/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 87 filings here across 14 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 1.4% 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 1.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.8/10.

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