Port Jefferson Station Eviction Risk: Elevated

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10.

Average gross rent is $3,081, 28% above the Port Jefferson Station average. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10. The voucher gap is 19.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 83rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 11% 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. Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

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.
