Cobblestone District maps to a single census tract in Buffalo, NY, population 2,061. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.3/10, placing it in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 52%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Buffalo baseline of 31.4%, 70% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.4/10.
The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Set annual rent against average household income of $32,500 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10.
16.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. Food insecurity affects 29.5% of adults, 11.7 points above the national rate.
At $952 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Buffalo commands. That places it #1 of 21 neighborhoods in Buffalo. For a like-for-like read, East Side and Lower West Side score within a fraction of it.
52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
