Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Depew

Against Erie County at 44.6%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10.

It sits 1.7 points below the Erie County average of 6.8. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.4/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Food insecurity runs 9.1% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.7% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,164, 10% above the Depew average.

That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $86,964, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.6 points cooler.

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