Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Melrose
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Cost burden runs 71% here against 56.0% across Bronx County.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,165, 36% below the New York average. Set annual rent against average income of $34,853 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Housing insecurity runs 29.3% against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 1,104 eviction filings across 8 observed years.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2003 at 64.7% of renter households.
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.
