Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hamilton Heights
The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10.
It sits 0.9 points above the New York County average of 9.0. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3,496 filings here across 7 tracked years.
SNAP participation runs 23.4% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 25.2% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2001 at 34.9% 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 28.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
