Historical context · 1930s redlining
HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)
This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Greenpoint
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 15.1% against 31.5% nationally.
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. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.
The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 5.4% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Kings County average of 9.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
The filing record is not thin: 112 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2000, when 4.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 2.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
