Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wakefield
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, 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. Against the Bronx County average of 9.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. Housing insecurity runs 22.9% against 14.2% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 393 filings here across 8 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 10.5% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 6.8% 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 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
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.
