Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Gravesend
Cost burden runs 70% here against 49.3% across Kings County. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, 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.
Food insecurity runs 27.0% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 83 evictions over 7 years of observation.
It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2. The worst year on record was 2002, when 4.5% 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 2.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
