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 Brownsville

67% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Kings County average of 49.3%. Annualized rent equals 57% of average household income of $31,496, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 58.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 54.8% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10.

The poverty rate is 42%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 94% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. At $1,494 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of New York commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,796 filings here across 7 tracked years.

It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2.

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