Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lambert Houses
At $554 a month, rents run 70% under what the rest of New York commands. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10.
This is renter territory: 97% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.4% against 11.3% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4,947 filings here across 8 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2001, when 36.2% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 30.6% of renter households face a filing.
