Smithtown Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 64% here against 51.3% across Suffolk County. At $2,534 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of Smithtown commands. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10.

SNAP participation runs 5.2% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Suffolk County average of 6.3.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
