Belmont Eviction Risk: High , New York

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from New York eviction laws, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Bronx County average of 7.8 and above the New York statewide average of 6.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,530 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 13.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 13.2% of renter households in 2016.

This tract overlaps land the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation redlined in the 1930s, a dominant grade of D ("Hazardous") across 100% of the tract. Redlining cut off mortgage credit to Black, immigrant, and working-class blocks, and those areas still tend to carry higher rent burden and eviction filings today.

For a landlord underwriting a deal here, treat timelines and legal costs as the real risk: New York eviction laws sits in territory where contested cases drag and tenant defenses are well organized, so airtight notices and screening matter more than usual.
