Brighton is a 4-tract neighborhood of Syracuse, NY and houses 8,730 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.1/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 45%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 67% against 32.9% citywide, putting Brighton 34.4% over its own city. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 38.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Food insecurity affects 49.4% of adults, 31.6 points above the national rate. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.7/10.
Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Syracuse, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 4 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 9.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
