Sunrise Hills maps to a single census tract in Washington Heights, NY and houses 4,891 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, High tier. 39% 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.
49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Washington Heights rate of 23.9%. Average gross rent is $1,468, 43% below the Washington Heights average of $2,554.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $69,485.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 8/10 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.
