Hudson Heights Eviction Risk: High , New York

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 99% 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.

58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the New York County average of 43.9%. Set annual rent against average income of $58,184 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.

The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity runs 31.1% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 25.4% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Against the New York County average of 9.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

Court records carry 4,361 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 24.4% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Manhattan. 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 22.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
