West Hempstead Eviction Risk: Elevated

Cost burden runs 61% here against 44.5% across Nassau County. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10.

Average gross rent is $2,223, 25% below the West Hempstead average. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 12% 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 5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler. Poverty sits at 3%, 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. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $133,145.

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.
