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 Hillside

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. This is renter territory: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $55,278, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. SNAP participation runs 30.5% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Against Queens County at 49.8%, 56% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Court records carry 1,382 eviction filings across 7 observed years. At $1,606 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of New York commands.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2006, when 28.1% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
