Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cheektowaga

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. It sits 2.0 points below the Erie County average of 6.8.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.1% against 11.3% nationally. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 4% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.3/10. Against average income of $92,250, annual rent is just 13%. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $974, close to the Cheektowaga average.

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