Tremont takes in 16 census tracts of New York, NY, population 71,385. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.9/10, High tier. Against a New York baseline of 31.3%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 34% 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. This is a renter market: 96% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
20.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot is economic stress at 8/10. At $1,462 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of New York commands.
Court records carry 48,735 eviction filings across its 16 observed tracts. 20.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 75.4% of renter households.
That places it #1 of 289 neighborhoods in New York. Judgments average 5.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Clifton and Arlington score within a fraction of it.
With little internal variation, 9.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
