Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Morewood Oaks
At $3,501 a month, rents run 60% over what the rest of Port Washington commands. The voucher gap is 35.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.5/10. Food insecurity runs 4.5% against 17.8% nationally.
Housing insecurity runs 4.5% against 14.2% nationally. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.4/10. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is just 17%.
Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
