What drives eviction risk in Brownsville
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 89% 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.
Housing insecurity runs 34.5% against 14.2% nationally. Cost burden runs 37% here against 49.3% across Kings County.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Average gross rent is $1,534, 16% below the New York average. Court records carry 2,802 eviction filings across 7 observed years. It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2.
The worst year on record was 2000, when 26.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 23.4% of renter households face a filing.
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.
