Merrick Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 90% here against 44.5% across Nassau County. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.1/10.

SNAP participation runs 4.3% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

Against the Nassau County average of 6.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.3% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 1% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
