Downtown Binghamton spans 3 census tracts of Binghamton, NY, population 5,108. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.3/10, in the High tier. Set annual rent against average household income of $23,550 and the ratio lands at 59%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Binghamton rate of 31.0%. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The poverty rate is 57%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 93% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,167, 34% above the Binghamton average of $870. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8/10. 17.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 23.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Binghamton, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
With little internal variation, 9.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
