1 census tracts · pop 4,147 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.1/10 · range 9.1–9.1

North Valley is a one-tract neighborhood of Syracuse, NY, population 4,147. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.1/10, in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 50%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Against a Syracuse baseline of 32.9%, roughly three in four of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. SNAP participation is 35.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot is economic stress at 7.6/10.

At $845 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Syracuse commands. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10.

Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Syracuse, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Westside and Near Westside score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $31,982. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 9.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
