Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Seneca

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. Against the Erie County average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.3/10. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, 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.
