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 Lower East Side
This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
At $2,336 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of New York commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.
On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,001 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2000 at 8.5% of renter households.
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 7.4% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter.
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.
