Far Westside is a 5-tract neighborhood of Syracuse, NY, population 14,062. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.8/10, Elevated tier. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.3 to 9.1, a 5.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $764, 26% below the Syracuse average of $1,039. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 3/10.
Cost burden runs 37% against 32.9% citywide, putting Far Westside 4.3% over its own city. That places it #26 of 26 neighborhoods in Syracuse. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
