Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ocean Hill
On the high side, economic stress reads 9.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $45,395 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
SNAP participation runs 35.1% against 15.2% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The filing record is not thin: 1,014 evictions over 7 years of observation. It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2.
At $1,634 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of New York commands.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
