Lake Grove Eviction Risk: Elevated

Average gross rent is $1,211, 45% below the Lake Grove average. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.8/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.4/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 14% 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 2.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $131,042, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, 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.
