Sugar Hill Eviction Risk: High , New York

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 50.9% against 17.8% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 39.5% against 14.2% nationally. 33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 48%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10.

Annualized rent equals 46% of average household income of $29,571, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $1,128 a month, rents run 38% under what the rest of New York commands.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. It sits 0.9 points above the New York County average of 9.0. The filing record is not thin: 8,745 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 52.7% 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.

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