About this data

What does this displacement score mean?

Washington Heights scores 43.6 out of 100, which is moderate displacement pressure. The score is a rank against the other 176 scored NYC ZIP codes rather than a count, so it says where 10033 stands against the rest of the city, not how many households moved. Its strongest signal here is 311 housing complaints, at 89.0 on the same 0 to 100 scale.

What public records are included?

DOB building permits, HPD housing violations, 311 housing complaints, executed evictions, ACRIS property deed transfers, HPD building registrations and MapPLUTO residential unit counts. For 10033 the past 365 days hold 151 residential building permits and 125 executed evictions, with 1,833 class B and C housing violations in the past 90 days. Deeds arrive on the city register's own schedule, so the deed figure covers the 365 days to September 29, 2026, the most recent day ACRIS has published: 13 deed transfers to companies.

Is this a prediction of eviction?

No. The score ranks this ZIP against the rest of the city on records already filed. It doesn't predict evictions, for a building or for the neighborhood.
