Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Eastchester Heights
84% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Bronx County average of 56.0%. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. Food insecurity runs 36.7% against 17.8% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $60,313 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Housing insecurity runs 31.3% against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. Against the Bronx County average of 9.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
Court records carry 255 eviction filings across 8 observed years. The worst year on record was 2000, when 9.4% of renter households were served.
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 7.6% 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.
