Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 27.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

At $1,343 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of New York commands. Disability prevalence runs 44.9% against 31.5% nationally.

Cost burden runs 61% here against 56.0% across Bronx County. Court records carry 1,283 eviction filings across 8 observed years.
