While the name "Hudson Heights" may be relatively new, a divide between northwestern Washington Heights and the rest of the neighborhood has existed in some form in the neighborhood since the early 1900s. Census data from 1950 shows that rents in the western areas of the neighborhood tended to be slightly higher compared to the eastern areas, but the highest rents were almost entirely in the northwestern area, with its high concentration of more modern elevator buildings, and the [[Audubon Park Historic District, New York City|Audubon Park Historic District]], which has most of the neighborhood's few buildings with more than six stories.<ref name=1950manhattanblockstats/>

This economic divide became racial as well during the 1970s and 1980s, as the majority of white residents who did not leave the neighborhood settled in the northwestern area.<ref name=Lowenstein/>{{Rp|216}} {{As of|2019}}, market rents remain significantly higher north of 181st Street and west of Broadway,<ref>{{cite web|title=Manhattan Rent Score: Every Building Ranked by Price Level|url=https://streeteasy.com/blog/manhattan-rent-score/|website=[[StreetEasy]]|first=Nancy|last=Wu|date=November 4, 2019|access-date=February 6, 2021}}</ref> although the most noticeable difference is the racial divide; {{as of|2020|lc=yes}}, Hudson Heights census blocks are 60% white while census blocks east of Broadway are 13% white.<ref name=censusfactfinder2020/>
