Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Amityville

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally.

It sits 0.7 points below the Nassau County average of 6.5. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 4% 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 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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