· range 7.9–9.3
Eastside takes in 4 census tracts of Binghamton, NY and houses 11,723 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.5/10, High tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
Cost burden runs 40% against 31.0% citywide, putting Eastside 9.0% over its own city. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 8/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 7.9 to 9.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. SNAP participation is 27.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Binghamton, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, First Ward and Southside score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
