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

31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $56,774, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. Food insecurity runs 34.7% against 17.8% nationally.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

SNAP participation runs 24.4% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 1,494 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2000, when 13.8% 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. In a typical year about 10.4% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
