Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Merrickwood

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Nassau County average of 6.5.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.6/10. Food insecurity runs 7.9% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.6 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.

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