Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Babylon

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.2/10. SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 79th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, 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.
