West Babylon Eviction Risk: Elevated

Severe burden reaches 37%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is state political climate at 7.3/10.

Against the Suffolk County average of 6.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.2/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.9/10. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 18% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $2,053, close to the West Babylon average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $117,045.

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.
