East Garden City is a one-tract quarter of Salisbury, NY and houses 4,977 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 64% against 31.3% citywide, putting East Garden City 32.5% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $3,069, 166% above the Salisbury average of $1,153. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The voucher gap is 18.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.7/10. SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $180,750.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
