University Heights Eviction Risk: High , Buffalo

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The dominant input is economic stress at 8.3/10. Against Erie County at 44.6%, 36% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,203, 15% above the Buffalo average.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Buffalo. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #3,082 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $67,949.

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.
