What drives eviction risk in Kaisertown
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.6/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.5/10.
Average gross rent is $880, 20% below the West Seneca average. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.1 points below the Erie County average of 6.8.
Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. 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.
Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $68,879, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
