The Mews Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 9,795 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4–5.5

The Mews is a 2-tract neighborhood of Albertson, NY and houses 9,795 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 13% against 27.8% citywide, putting The Mews 14.4% under its own city.

Average gross rent is $1,416, 48% below the Albertson average of $2,703. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4 to 5.5. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.1/10. SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 3.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

10% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.2/10.

At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $185,581, annual rent is only 9%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
