Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Flatbush
Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. SNAP participation runs 31.7% against 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.
Cost burden runs 58% here against 49.3% across Kings County. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $1,539, 15% below the New York average.
The filing record is not thin: 785 evictions over 7 years of observation. Against the Kings County average of 9.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 16.3% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Brooklyn. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 14.7% of renter households face a filing.
