Bennett Creek Eviction Risk: Lower , Suffolk

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10. Average gross rent is $2,077, 33% above the Suffolk average.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 22.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 71 filings here across 6 tracked years. Against the Suffolk City average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 9.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 9.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 21% 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. Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $142,321, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the VA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.
