Merrick Court Eviction Risk: High , Roosevelt

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Set annual rent against average income of $111,538 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

It sits 1.8 points above the Nassau County average of 6.5. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.3/10.

Average gross rent is $3,036, 22% above the Uniondale average. The voucher gap is 17.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Housing insecurity runs 23.1% against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 24.8% against 17.8% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
