SNAP participation runs 34.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 36.3% against 17.8% nationally. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the New York County average of 43.9%.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $32,837, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.2/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. Against the New York County average of 9.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.
