Lambert Houses is a 4-tract neighborhood of New York, NY, population 17,229. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.9/10, in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 40%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 60% against 31.3% citywide, putting Lambert Houses 28.7% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 52.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Set annual rent against average household income of $27,061 and the ratio lands at 49%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Food insecurity affects 55.0% of adults, 37.2 points above the national rate. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.
94% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Average gross rent is $1,106, 39% below the New York average of $1,821.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. Filings are well documented here: 11,091 across 4 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 40.2% of renter households.
With little internal variation, 9.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
