Hempstead Eviction Risk: High

It sits 3.0 points above the Nassau County average of 6.5. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,150, 29% below the Hempstead average. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. Food insecurity runs 28.3% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 23.5% against 15.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $109,507, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
