Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunset Park

Cost burden runs 71% here against 49.3% across Kings County. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. SNAP participation runs 33.3% against 15.2% nationally. 77% 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.

Set annual rent against average income of $61,975 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Court records carry 335 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2000 at 6.5% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $1,659, 9% below the New York average.

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.
