Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Midwood

Average gross rent is $3,501, 92% above the New York average. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Set annual rent against average income of $88,558 and the ratio lands at 47%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.9/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The voucher gap is 25.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 88 filings here across 7 tracked years.

It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2. The worst year on record was 2005, when 9.4% of renter households were served.

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.
