Alphabet City Eviction Risk: High , New York

This is renter territory: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Average gross rent is $1,243, 32% below the New York average.

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Against the New York County average of 9.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,472 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 15.0% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Manhattan. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 13.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
