Morningside Heights Eviction Risk: High , New York

35% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $3,501, 92% above the New York average. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.

100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.5% against 31.5% nationally.

On the high side, economic stress reads 7.8/10. Against the New York County average of 9.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 49 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally.

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.
