The state of NYC displacement

What the public record shows right now. Every number below is rebuilt nightly from NYC open data: deeds, evictions, permits, violations, and complaints.

This page draws on 17 reviewed eviction-to-resale arcs, the 60 most recent renovation flips and 9 active buying clusters.

Is it getting worse?

The scores on this page are ranks: they show which places stand out from the rest of New York, and they would look much the same in a calm year or a bad one. This number is a count, so it can go down.

16,638 executed residential evictions in the twelve months to Oct 2026, against 17,771 in the twelve before them. That is down 6.4%.

4.43 per 1,000 apartments a year, across 3,755,144 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.

Counts are what NYC agencies have published, which can lag the events they describe. The scores rank places against each other and are not a forecast. How this works
