The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
At $1,136 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of North York commands. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $61,675. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 7.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
