Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lake Ronkonkoma
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. At $2,604 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Lake Ronkonkoma commands. 12% 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 7.3/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Suffolk County average of 6.3.
That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10. Of its three components the household composition 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. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $104,978.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
