Bennett Creek Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,992, 27% above the Suffolk average of $1,563.

The voucher gap is 17.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Cost burden runs 39% against 33.7% citywide, putting Bennett Creek 5.4% over its own city. The filing record is not thin: 71 evictions logged in this tract.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 9.6% of renter households.

Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Suffolk, it ranks #16 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 4.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

The closest comparables inside the same city are River Shores and Bennett Harbor. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
