Financial Stress · New York

New York — financial stress by county

The Financial Stress Index (FSI) combines renter cost burden, eviction rate, and debt in collections into a 0–100 score. 16 of 62 New York counties have all three inputs and receive a score. Because 46 counties are missing eviction data, no state-wide average is shown here — averaging across the reporting subset would be misleading. Bronx, NY has the highest score at 90.
