The filing record is not thin: 4 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.0% of renter households. The voucher gap is 11.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Judgments average 1.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 2% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $2,571, close to the Kings Park West average.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
