Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cheektowaga

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. It sits 1.7 points below the Erie County average of 6.8.

Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Food insecurity runs 9.1% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 21% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $82,655, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.6 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition 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.

Average gross rent is $1,131, close to the Cheektowaga average.

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.
