Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Castle Hill
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. 44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Bronx County average of 56.0%.
Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $57,083, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.
Housing insecurity runs 24.9% against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 28.0% against 17.8% nationally.
It sits 1.1 points below the Bronx County average of 9.3. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 138 filings here across 8 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2003, when 9.4% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Bronx. 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 8.9% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #6,676 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.
