About this data
What does this displacement score mean?
Brownsville scores 48.4 out of 100, which is high displacement pressure. The score is a rank against the other 176 scored NYC ZIP codes rather than a count, so it says where 11212 stands against the rest of the city, not how many households moved. Its strongest signal here is HPD violations (Class B+C), at 73.2 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 11212 the past 365 days hold 303 residential building permits and 314 executed evictions, with 2,972 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: 77 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.
