Dunwoodie spans 2 census tracts of Yonkers, NY and houses 7,708 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.6/10, High tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Cost burden runs 41% against 32.7% citywide, putting Dunwoodie 8.0% over its own city.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $2,184, 22% above the Yonkers average of $1,784. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 8.2 to 9.2. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Yonkers, it ranks #16 by risk, the lower third.
Against average income of $137,008, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
