Briar-Cliff Park at Merrick Eviction Risk: Elevated , North Merrick

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.2/10. Food insecurity runs 7.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 2% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
