Chester Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of New Rochelle, NY and houses 6,551 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.8/10, Elevated tier. Against a New Rochelle baseline of 30.5%, about three-quarters of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
Average gross rent is $2,243, 17% above the New Rochelle average of $1,917. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. That places it #6 of 13 neighborhoods in New Rochelle.
At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $130,724.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
