Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wakefield
Cost burden runs 92% here against 56.0% across Bronx County. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Food insecurity runs 41.5% against 17.8% nationally.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,144 filings here across 8 tracked years. At $1,651 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of New York commands.
The worst year on record was 2000, when 19.8% of renter households were served. 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.
