Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sunset Park
The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 79% 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.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.
SNAP participation runs 27.4% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 447 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Against the Kings County average of 9.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filings peaked in 2001 at 6.6% 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
