Parkside is a 3-tract neighborhood of Mount Vernon, NY, population 12,450. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.5/10, in the High tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Mount Vernon rate of 32.1%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. 32% 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. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.
16.3% 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. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10. Food insecurity affects 27.9% of adults, 10.1 points above the national rate.
Average gross rent is $1,482, 9% below the Mount Vernon average of $1,629. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Mount Vernon, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 3 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $63,912. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 9.5/10 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.
