Sugar Hill Eviction Risk: High , New York

100% 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. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.

Against New York County at 43.9%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. SNAP participation runs 24.0% against 15.2% nationally. Against the New York County average of 9.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

The filing record is not thin: 2,792 evictions over 7 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,570, 14% below the New York average. Housing insecurity runs 21.5% against 14.2% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 25.1% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 21.4% of renter households face a filing.
