Northside Eviction Risk: Elevated

4 census tracts · pop 11,380 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.4/10 · range 5.1–9.3

Northside takes in 4 census tracts of Binghamton, NY and houses 11,380 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.4/10, Elevated tier. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.1 to 9.3, a 4.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Cost burden runs 44% against 31.0% citywide, putting Northside 13.2% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

The severe-burden share is 24%. 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 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

SNAP participation is 27.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.

At $925 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Binghamton commands. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Binghamton, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $53,358. 48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 4.2 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.
