Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Greenpoint

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. At $2,491 a month, rents run 37% over what the rest of New York commands.

This is renter territory: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Brooklyn. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Kings County average of 9.2 closely. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $137,366.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
