Bridgeburg Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 4,217 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.3/10 · range 9.3–9.3

Bridgeburg maps to a single census tract in Buffalo, NY and houses 4,217 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.3/10, placing it in the High tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Buffalo rate of 31.4%.

What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.9/10. 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 poverty rate is 40%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. SNAP participation is 34.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. Food insecurity affects 34.0% of adults, 16.2 points above the national rate. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.

Average gross rent is $941, 10% below the Buffalo average of $1,046. That places it #1 of 21 neighborhoods in Buffalo. The closest comparables inside the same city are Fruit Belt and Lower West Side.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $37,992.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
