Hamilton Heights Eviction Risk: High , New York

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average income of $49,410 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the New York County average of 43.9%. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 27.4% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 24.9% against 14.2% nationally.

On the high side, 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 2,737 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 21.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 18.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
