· range 5.6–8.4
Downtown Jamestown spans 2 census tracts of Jamestown, NY and houses 7,436 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.9/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Jamestown rate of 30.7%. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.6 to 8.4, a 2.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.6/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Jamestown, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $715, close to the Jamestown average. 61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
