Ocean Hill Eviction Risk: High , New York

At $1,108 a month, rents run 39% under what the rest of New York commands. Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

84% 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. SNAP participation runs 28.7% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Housing insecurity runs 26.9% against 14.2% nationally. Against Kings County at 49.3%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. The filing record is not thin: 3,932 evictions over 7 years of observation.

It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2. The worst year on record was 2003, when 81.7% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 35.9% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
