West Babylon Eviction Risk: Elevated

66% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Suffolk County average of 51.3%. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.2/10.

At $2,414 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of West Babylon commands. Nationally it ranks #17,132 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.3/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, 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.
