This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 21.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #4,119 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
