Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ditmas Park
The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Court records carry 941 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Against Kings County at 49.3%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2.
Filings peaked in 2004 at 29.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 26.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
