Rumsey Ridge spans 2 census tracts of Lewiston, NY and houses 6,863 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
35% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Lewiston rate of 26.2%. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $955, 16% below the Lewiston average of $1,131.
Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate. 4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
