The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.8 to 6. A 2.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
