Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brookhaven Borough

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.8/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10.

Court records carry 55 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Against the Delaware County average of 4.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 7.9% of renter households. At $1,061 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Parkside commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 4.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $91,902, annual rent is just 14%.

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