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%, 34% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 12.5% against 31.5% nationally. 74% 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 voucher gap is 25.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Kings County average of 9.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 66 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2005, when 4.6% of renter households were served.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
