What drives eviction risk in North Park
Average gross rent is $485, 55% below the Kenmore average. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10.
Against the Erie County average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10. Against average income of $91,208, annual rent is just 6%.
Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
