Sunset Park Eviction Risk: High , New York

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 78% 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.

Food insecurity runs 34.4% against 17.8% nationally. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 25.2% against 14.2% nationally. At $1,535 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of New York commands.

The filing record is not thin: 300 evictions over 7 years of observation. Against the Kings County average of 9.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points.

Filings peaked in 2001 at 4.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 3.6% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
