Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 6 to 7.3. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filings are well documented here: 2,268 across 3 observed tracts. At $1,153 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Millbourne commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 25.4% of renter households. Judgments average 6.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $51,354. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.3 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.
