Valley View is a one-tract neighborhood of Chester, NY and houses 4,534 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.6/10. 15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,649 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Chester commands.
20% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Chester rate of 25.2%. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.6/10. Against average income of $113,202, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
