Upper West Side Eviction Risk: Elevated

It sits 1.5 points below the Hudson County average of 7.7. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.5/10. SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 165 evictions over 4 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 5.1% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.1/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
