Byram spans 5 census tracts of Port Chester, NY and houses 20,818 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.1/10, placing it in the High tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Port Chester rate of 31.1%.
The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.3 to 9.9, a 3.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. 29% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.1/10. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $2,003, close to the Port Chester average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $93,244.
59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
