On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.3/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.4/10.

Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The voucher gap is 11.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
