Is it getting worse?

Every other number on this page is a rank: it says which places stand out from the rest of New York, and it would look much the same in a calm year or a terrible one. This one is a level. It is the count itself, so it can go down.

17,009 executed residential evictions in the twelve months to Jul 2026, against 17,334 in the twelve before them. That is down 1.9%.

4.53 per 1,000 apartments a year, across 3,753,413 residential units on record.

Whole months only. The month in progress is left out, because half a month set against a full one reads as a collapse that did not happen. The winter dip that repeats every year is seasonal, not progress.
