Historical context · 1930s redlining
HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)
This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Belmont
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 about the same as 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.
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.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,588 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 16.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 18.0% of renter households in 2000.
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.
