Hicksville Eviction Risk: Elevated

16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.1/10. SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters. It tracks the Nassau County average of 6.5 closely.

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.
