· range 7.5–7.5
Lakefront maps to a single census tract in Syracuse, NY, population 1,047. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.5/10, in the Elevated tier. 91% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
At $1,403 a month, rents sit 35% over what the rest of Syracuse commands. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 3/10. Against a Syracuse baseline of 32.9%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate.
4.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Syracuse, it ranks #24 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Northside and South Valley score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 7.5/10 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.
