2 census tracts · pop 9,753 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.5/10 · range 6.7–9.3

Randall Heights is a 2-tract neighborhood of Middletown, NY, population 9,753. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.5/10, in the High tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Middletown rate of 31.5%.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.7 to 9.3, a 2.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

18% 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. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.

At $1,507 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Middletown commands. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Middletown.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $73,962.

41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
