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 Morris Park

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Against Queens County at 49.8%, around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 36.4% against 17.8% nationally.

80% 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. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $60,458, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. Housing insecurity runs 29.5% against 14.2% nationally.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 124 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2000, when 4.4% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Queens. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 3.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

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