Sunset Park Eviction Risk: High , New York

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. 72% 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. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 33.7% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 20.8% against 11.3% nationally. At $2,102 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of New York commands.

Court records carry 349 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Against the Kings County average of 9.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2001, when 19.7% 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 16.7% of renter households face a filing.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
