West Babylon Eviction Risk: Elevated

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.2/10. SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,484, 12% above the West Babylon average. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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 1.4 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.

It tracks the Suffolk County average of 6.3 closely. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $121,250.

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