Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Melville
Cost burden runs 100% here against 51.3% across Suffolk County. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10.

On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
On the national scale it lands near the 79th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 3% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10.
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 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
It tracks the Suffolk County average of 6.3 closely.
