Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Manhattan

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10. The voucher gap is 26.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,256, 25% above the Manhattan average. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 4.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 8.1% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Riley County average of 3.9. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $97,898, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
