HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in 19th Ward

Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.8 points above the Monroe County average of 7.2.

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10.

The voucher gap is 18.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. Nationally it ranks #4,119 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.5/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
