· range 7.5–8.3
Southside spans 2 census tracts of Binghamton, NY, population 6,783. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
Against a Binghamton baseline of 31.0%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Binghamton, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Westside and First Ward score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $57,576, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes.
Average gross rent runs $857, close to the Binghamton average. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
