West Mount Vernon Eviction Risk: High

27% 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 high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Against the Westchester County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. Against Westchester County at 47.2%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Housing insecurity runs 22.9% against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 25.5% against 17.8% nationally.

At $1,850 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Mount Vernon commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Lower Westchester Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

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.
