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 Eastchester Heights

87% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Bronx County average of 56.0%. Food insecurity runs 46.7% against 17.8% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 51% of average household income of $29,325, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.

Housing insecurity runs 38.3% against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.

The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, economic stress reads 9.4/10. At $1,241 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of New York commands.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 344 filings here across 8 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 10.3% 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 9.0% 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.
