Against Suffolk County at 47.0%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. The voucher gap is 23.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Against the Suffolk County average of 7.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Adults with no health insurance runs 2.1% against 11.3% nationally.
