Hardscrabble Tract maps to a single census tract in South Blooming Grove, NY and houses 2,213 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. 82% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the South Blooming Grove rate of 40.6%.
What pushes the score up most is housing-court posture at 9.3/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
