Kensington Eviction Risk: Elevated , Buffalo

Cost burden runs 53% here against 44.6% across Erie County. The score leans hardest on state political climate at 7.3/10.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Cheektowaga 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 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Erie County average of 6.8 closely. Average gross rent is $1,043, close to the Cheektowaga average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $60,052.

34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
