Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ditmas Park
This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.
Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 1,834 evictions over 7 years of observation. Against Kings County at 49.3%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 25.9% against 17.8% nationally.
Housing insecurity runs 21.4% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Kings County average of 9.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. Filings peaked in 2000 at 23.1% 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 22.0% of renter households face a filing.
