Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Babylon

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.2/10. 47% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Suffolk County average of 51.3%.

That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 5/10 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. Poverty sits at 4%, 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.

Average gross rent is $2,307, close to the West Babylon average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
