East Side Eviction Risk: High , Buffalo

Against the Erie County average of 6.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.5 points. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs 56% here against 44.6% across Erie County. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

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