West Babylon Eviction Risk: Elevated

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.

13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,833, 18% below the West Babylon average.

On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Nationally it ranks #17,650 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 12% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.3/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $143,482, an unusually wide affordability cushion. 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 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.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
