· range 6.5–9.3
Westside takes in 2 census tracts of Binghamton, NY and houses 7,768 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 6.5 to 9.3. A 2.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 24% 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.
Average gross rent is $1,094, 26% above the Binghamton average of $870. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households.
That places it #5 of 6 neighborhoods in Binghamton. For a like-for-like read, Northside and Southside score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $54,338.
40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
