Chester Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated , New Rochelle

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $2,243 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of New Rochelle commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 89th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. It tracks the Westchester County average of 7.8 closely.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $130,724.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
