Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Knollwood
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. 29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
This is renter territory: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $47,535, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. Food insecurity runs 31.0% against 17.8% nationally.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
