Southold Eviction Risk: Elevated

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.5/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 9.1% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.8% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,940, 13% below the Southold average.

On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most 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.

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.
