Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Murray Hill
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,451, 20% below the New York average. Food insecurity runs 29.0% against 17.8% nationally.
The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 566 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2000 at 8.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 6.8% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
