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 Ravenswood

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 100% 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. 32% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Housing insecurity runs 35.2% against 14.2% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Set annual rent against average income of $26,203 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.7/10.

56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Queens County average of 49.8%. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,823 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Adults with no health insurance runs 18.7% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2004, when 69.4% 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 39.1% of renter households face a filing.

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