West Mecox Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Water Mill, NY, population 940. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.6/10, in the Elevated tier. Average gross rent is $1,363, 57% below the Water Mill average of $3,200.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Against a Water Mill baseline of 34.2%, 30% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 4.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Only 10% 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. Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 6.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
