West Mount Vernon Eviction Risk: High

35% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Westchester County average of 47.2%. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 2.1 points above the Westchester County average of 7.8.

79% 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. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Food insecurity runs 30.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 25.8% against 14.2% nationally. At $1,391 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Mount Vernon commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Lower Westchester Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $65,118.

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.
