West Babylon Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Against Suffolk County at 51.3%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The voucher gap is 29.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 25% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, 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. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $141,477.
