Scarsdale Downs maps to a single census tract in Scarsdale, NY, population 4,744. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
At $2,385 a month, rents sit 32% under what the rest of Scarsdale commands. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.2/10.
Disability prevalence reaches 15.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.2/10. SNAP participation is 3.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Scarsdale Park and Murray Hill score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
