South Olean takes in 2 census tracts of Olean, NY, population 6,929. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.2/10, in the High tier. Against a Olean baseline of 30.7%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
30% 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. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. The poverty rate is 35%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the high side is economic stress at 8/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.9/10.
SNAP participation is 25.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Its 2 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $837, close to the Olean average.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $37,939. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 8.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
