STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — More than 17,000 New York City residents have been kicked to the curb this year as the city’s ongoing housing affordability crisis makes it more and more difficult for New Yorkers to keep a roof over their heads.
The Staten Island Advance/SILive.com recently analyzed residential eviction data from New York City’s Open Data portal to determine how many New Yorkers have been evicted in 2025.
The data set includes all residential evictions throughout the five boroughs from Jan. 1 through Dec. 11, the last date for which data was available at the time of the analysis.
Through Dec. 11, there were 17,064 residential evictions across New York City, with the Bronx leading the way with 5,499.
Brooklyn had the second-most residential evictions so far this year with 4,369, followed by Queens with 3,962, Manhattan with 2,648 and Staten Island with 586.
On Staten Island
The 586 residential evictions on Staten Island represent just 3.4% of all citywide evictions in 2025.
Further analysis showed that certain Staten Island neighborhoods have seen far more evictions than others through mid-December.
The database breaks down the evictions by Neighborhood Tabulation Areas (NTAs), which are aggregations of census tracts that are subsets of New York City’s 55 Public Use Microdata Areas. NTA boundaries and their associated names may not definitively represent neighborhoods, but provide a general estimation of the area.
The West Brighton-New Brighton-St. George NTA leads the way with 109 residential evictions, followed by Grymes Hill-Clifton-Fox Hills with 72 and Stapleton-Rosebank with 65.
