Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Dyker Heights
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 81% 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.
Food insecurity runs 31.8% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,465, 20% below the New York average.
SNAP participation runs 24.2% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 211 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Against the Kings County average of 9.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2000, when 3.4% of renter households were served. 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 2.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.5/10.
Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
