Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ravenswood
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Annualized rent equals 45% of average household income of $56,201, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10.
Food insecurity runs 29.2% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Housing insecurity runs 24.1% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,106, 16% above the New York average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 153 filings here across 7 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2000 at 10.7% of renter households.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
