Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Greenpoint
This is renter territory: 92% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.
Against Kings County at 49.3%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 803 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Food insecurity runs 25.4% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 14.4% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 8.0% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
