West Amityville Eviction Risk: Elevated

Cost burden runs 67% here against 51.3% across Suffolk County. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #14,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 3% 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 2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
