St. James Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.1/10.

It sits 1.1 points below the Suffolk County average of 6.3. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.4/10.

SNAP participation runs 5.7% against 15.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $169,828, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.5 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
