West Amityville Eviction Risk: Moderate

39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the East Massapequa rate of 26.1%. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10. 15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.4 to 6.6, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.6/10. Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate. 4.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Only 9% 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 6% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
