Seaford Eviction Risk: Elevated

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against Nassau County at 44.5%, 34% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.4/10. Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 8% 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 1.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $186,250, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Nassau County average of 6.5 closely.

Average gross rent is $2,403, close to the Seaford average.

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.
