West Mount Vernon Eviction Risk: High

The dominant input is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10. It sits 2.1 points above the Westchester County average of 7.8.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,830, close to the Yonkers average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $86,836. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
