Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Briar-Cliff Park at Merrick
The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10. 52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Nassau County average of 44.5%.
On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.2/10. The voucher gap is 17.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 9% 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 1.3 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Nassau County average of 6.5 closely.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
