Midland Beach Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 12,315 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.3/10 · range 8.6–9.9

Midland Beach takes in 2 census tracts of New York, NY, population 12,315. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.3/10, 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 61% against 31.3% citywide, putting Midland Beach 29.5% over its own city. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.6 to 9.9, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 135 evictions logged in this tract. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.1/10.

At $2,035 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of New York commands. The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.6% in 2016 against a 4.9% peak.

That places it #128 of 289 neighborhoods in New York. For a like-for-like read, Douglaston and Bulls Head score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $92,032.

29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
