Briarwood Eviction Risk: Lower

Against a Hamilton Square baseline of 30.9%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.

At $1,577 a month, rents sit 26% under what the rest of Hamilton Square commands. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.2/10. Court records for this tract carry 21 eviction filings.

Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate. 3.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.

The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 6.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2018, is well off that peak.

At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $128,949, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
