Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Merrickwood
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.1/10.
SNAP participation runs 5.4% against 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. It sits 0.8 points below the Nassau County average of 6.5.
Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 1% 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.
Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
