Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lambert Houses
Set annual rent against average income of $28,259 and the ratio lands at 62%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.
Food insecurity runs 55.3% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10.
The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 24.0% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,467, 19% below the New York average. The filing record is not thin: 4,073 evictions over 8 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 26.4% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 25.1% of renter households face a filing.
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.
