· range 7.8–9.1
Sedgwick takes in 2 census tracts of Syracuse, NY, population 6,776. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.4/10, High tier. Against a Syracuse baseline of 32.9%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 7.8 to 9.1, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10.
SNAP participation is 23.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Syracuse, it ranks #18 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Eastwood and Strathmore score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $67,973, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,037, close to the Syracuse average.
35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 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.
