Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sugar Hill
This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.
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.
Court records carry 3,925 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2000 at 24.1% 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.
In a typical year about 23.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
