West Mount Vernon Eviction Risk: High

The score leans hardest on eviction-process difficulty at 9/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Westchester County average of 7.8. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.5/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,865, close to the Yonkers average.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $119,424.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
