Scores across the 10 constituent tracts range from 3 to 6. A 3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Severe burden reaches 26%.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
