Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Mount Vernon

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

This is renter territory: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

SNAP participation runs 33.8% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Westchester County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $1,467, 10% below the Mount Vernon average.

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 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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