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

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Set annual rent against average income of $41,154 and the ratio lands at 49%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against Queens County at 49.8%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened.

This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 26%, 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. Food insecurity runs 30.6% against 17.8% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

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 9.3/10, 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.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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