Middle Island Eviction Risk: Elevated

Cost burden runs 67% here against 51.3% across Suffolk County. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.7/10. Against the Suffolk County average of 6.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 18% 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 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,900, close to the Middle Island average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $106,307.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
