The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 7.3, a 4.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.
20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Court records carry 596 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10.
At $949 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Comstock Northwest commands. SNAP participation is 23.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 34.8% of renter households. Judgments average 5.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $52,058.
49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
