Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Midwood
The severe-burden share is 33%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
70% 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. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. 43% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Kings County average of 49.3%.
Food insecurity runs 27.1% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 88 eviction filings across 7 observed years. SNAP participation runs 22.2% against 15.2% nationally.
Against the Kings County average of 9.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. Average gross rent is $1,620, 11% below the New York average. The worst year on record was 2000, when 2.0% 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
