Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.6 to 7.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10.
Court records carry 431 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 9.2% of renter households.
Running cool is economic stress, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Average gross rent runs $2,030, close to the Edgewood average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $105,120. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
