Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Eastchester Heights
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Bronx County average of 56.0%. The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. Housing insecurity runs 27.3% against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 29.7% against 17.8% nationally.
Against the Bronx County average of 9.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 350 evictions over 8 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 13.2% of renter households were served.
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. In a typical year about 9.6% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Average gross rent is $1,918, close to the New York average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $97,500.
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.
