Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Greenpoint
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Against Kings County at 49.3%, 35% of renters here are cost-burdened.
80% 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. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Disability prevalence runs 15.5% against 31.5% nationally. The voucher gap is 21.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Kings County average of 9.2. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 124 filings here across 7 tracked years.
Food insecurity runs 9.8% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2006, when 2.2% of renter households were served.
