Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Olean

The severe-burden share is 34%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 46%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

It sits 2.3 points above the Cattaraugus County average of 6.0. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10.

Cost burden runs 54% here against 43.0% across Cattaraugus County. SNAP participation runs 31.4% against 15.2% nationally.

68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.9/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $729, 8% below the Olean average.

That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.8/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
