Meadowbrook Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,840 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.9/10 · range 6.9–6.9

Meadowbrook is a one-tract neighborhood of Syracuse, NY and houses 4,840 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.9/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Syracuse baseline of 32.9%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

38% 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 $1,405, 35% above the Syracuse average of $1,039. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.3/10.

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate. 4.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #25 of 26 neighborhoods in Syracuse. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Against average income of $97,879, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.

One tract means one number: 6.9/10 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.
