Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Mount Vernon

Against Westchester County at 47.2%, 73% of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 50.1% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10. At $1,014 a month, rents run 38% under what the rest of Mount Vernon commands.

87% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Against the Westchester County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 27.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
