Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Merrickwood
Cost burden runs about three-quarters here against 44.5% across Nassau County. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.7/10.
Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2/10.
Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 4%, 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
