Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Court Park

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 10.2% against 17.8% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Model confidence here is 60%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point.

It tracks the Suffolk County average of 7.9 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
