Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brownsville
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Cost burden runs 65% here against 49.3% across Kings County. Set annual rent against average income of $47,269 and the ratio lands at 47%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Food insecurity runs 38.5% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 31.4% against 14.2% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.
Court records carry 1,606 eviction filings across 7 observed years. It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 15.8% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 13.0% of renter households face a filing.
