Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Eastchester Heights
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.
SNAP participation runs 34.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 36.2% against 17.8% nationally.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 4,097 eviction filings across 8 observed years. At $1,657 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of New York commands.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 35.2% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.
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.
