Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Eastchester Heights
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. At $530 a month, rents run 71% under what the rest of New York commands. Food insecurity runs 55.9% against 17.8% nationally.
This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.0% against 31.5% nationally. Court records carry 10,608 eviction filings across 8 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2003, when 73.8% of renter households were served. 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
