West Amityville spans 2 census tracts of Amityville, NY and houses 9,507 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 44%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 60% against 37.3% citywide, putting West Amityville 23.1% over its own city. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.7 to 8.3, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10.
Average gross rent runs $2,188, close to the Amityville average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $102,993. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
