Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Mecox Village

At $1,363 a month, rents run 57% under what the rest of Water Mill commands. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.2/10. Food insecurity runs 7.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 6.3% against 14.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #14,906 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $180,455, annual rent is just 9%.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

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.
