Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25024 (units in structure), 2023 release. Universe: 8,166 housing units, including vacant ones, across the ZIP code areas covering West Islip.
Against New York as a whole that is 68 points higher — a real gap rather than a rounding one.
This is measured across every housing unit in the area, occupied or not, because the question is what the buildings are rather than who lives in them.
Whose disposal is it
Work out who is responsible before you call anyone. Owners call contractors; tenants call the landlord, and doing it the other way round costs money.
Then the behavior: no response, seized, dripping. Only one of those is urgent.
And before any of that, the thing that prevents most of these calls: what should not go down it. Grease and fibrous waste cause more disposal failures than wear does.
