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 Murray Hill

Set annual rent against average income of $43,750 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Food insecurity runs 35.9% against 17.8% nationally.

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. SNAP participation runs 25.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,528, 16% below the New York average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 204 filings here across 7 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2000, when 7.5% 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.
