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

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

At $2,285 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of New York commands. 41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Kings County average of 49.3%.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.1% against 31.5% nationally.

Court records carry 166 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2000, when 4.5% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.6% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #4,888 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

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