Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Northeast Ridgewood

At $1,975 a month, rents run 43% under what the rest of Waldwick commands. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Disability prevalence runs 18.1% against 31.5% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. Against the Bergen County average of 6.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.

Court records carry 17 eviction filings across 5 observed years. Housing insecurity runs 7.1% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2013, when 5.4% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Bergen Co. 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 3.0% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
