Lower East Side Eviction Risk: High , New York

At $1,118 a month, rents run 39% under what the rest of New York commands. This is renter territory: 89% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $38,594, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the New York County average of 43.9%.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 27.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. It sits 0.9 points above the New York County average of 9.0.

Court records carry 1,849 eviction filings across 7 observed years. SNAP participation runs 23.2% against 15.2% nationally.
