Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sugar Hill
This is renter territory: 95% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the New York County average of 43.9%. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10.
Housing insecurity runs 28.2% against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 7.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
It sits 0.9 points above the New York County average of 9.0. Court records carry 3,684 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2005, when 42.8% of renter households were served.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
