Meadowfield Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 7,214 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.3/10 · range 9.3–9.3

Meadowfield takes in 2 census tracts of Middletown, NY and houses 7,214 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.3/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a Middletown baseline of 31.5%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. 26% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 16.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. 19.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Middletown. For a like-for-like read, Amp Rentals Inc and Webb Heights score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,664, close to the Middletown average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $74,424.

With little internal variation, 9.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
