Ocean Hill Eviction Risk: High , New York

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. 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.

SNAP participation runs 32.7% against 15.2% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $45,565 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

At $1,307 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of New York commands. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The filing record is not thin: 1,450 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 26.2% of renter households were served.

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.
