East Olean Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,669 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.8/10 · range 6.8–6.8

East Olean is a one-tract suburb of Olean, NY, population 4,669. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Olean rate of 30.7%.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.9/10. Average gross rent is $656, 17% below the Olean average of $794. The closest comparables inside the same city are North Olean and South Olean.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Against average income of $56,250, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.

41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
