Mott Section spans 10 census tracts of Garden City, NY, population 62,822. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Scores across the 10 constituent tracts range from 6 to 9.9. A 3.9-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $2,258, 31% below the Garden City average of $3,265.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2/10. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Garden City rate of 37.0%.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.3/10. Against average income of $148,974, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.9 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.
