Wessynton Eviction Risk: Lower

At $3,068 a month, rents sit 89% over what the rest of Mount Vernon commands. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.3/10.

The voucher gap is 32.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the high side is supply constraint at 8.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 12 eviction filings. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

3.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 4.8% of renter households. 5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
