The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 26.9% of renter households. That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Garden City. Judgments average 6.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Jasmine Lake and Harbour Village. Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $64,463.

With little internal variation, 3.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
