Hicksville Eviction Risk: Elevated

The voucher gap is 35.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $3,501, 12% above the Hicksville average. On the national scale it lands near the 79th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
