Northside Eviction Risk: Elevated

5 census tracts · pop 14,628 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.5/10 · range 5.7–9.1

Northside takes in 5 census tracts of Syracuse, NY, population 14,628. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.5/10, in the Elevated tier. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.7 to 9.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. Against a Syracuse baseline of 32.9%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

At $1,133 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Syracuse commands. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Syracuse, it ranks #24 by risk, the lower third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Lakefront and South Valley. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $60,994.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
