Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Gravesend
25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 288 evictions over 7 years of observation.
At $1,652 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of New York commands. The worst year on record was 2001, when 4.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 4.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #2,339 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 2.0 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
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.
