Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Mount Vernon

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. This is renter territory: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against Westchester County at 47.2%, 61% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 2.1 points above the Westchester County average of 7.8.

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $42,610, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Housing insecurity runs 30.5% against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

At $1,293 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Mount Vernon commands. 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.

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