Islip Eviction Risk: Elevated

34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.1/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, 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. Average gross rent is $2,250, close to the Islip average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
