Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brownsville
This is renter territory: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. SNAP participation runs 36.5% against 15.2% nationally.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Housing insecurity runs 30.7% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.
The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,455 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of New York commands.
54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Kings County average of 49.3%. The filing record is not thin: 2,943 evictions over 7 years of observation. Against the Kings County average of 9.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 22.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Brooklyn. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
