Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West Seneca
The dominant input is state political climate at 7.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.3/10. Against Erie County at 44.6%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened.
That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from West Seneca eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $73,768, annual rent is just 18%.
Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Erie County average of 6.8 closely.
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.
