Elmwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Syracuse, NY and houses 1,881 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, High tier. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10.
29% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, lower than the Syracuse rate of 32.9%. That places it #21 of 26 neighborhoods in Syracuse.
At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Skunk City and Strathmore score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,021, close to the Syracuse average.
One tract means one number: 8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
