· range 8.8–8.8
Outer Comstock maps to a single census tract in Syracuse, NY, population 3,339. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.8/10, High tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 32.9% citywide, putting Outer Comstock 27.9% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 80% 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.
Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. That places it #15 of 26 neighborhoods in Syracuse. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,027, close to the Syracuse average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
