2 census tracts · pop 5,789 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.7/10
· range 7.7–9.1
Skytop spans 2 census tracts of Syracuse, NY, population 5,789. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.7/10, High tier. Severe burden reaches 61%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 81% against 32.9% citywide, putting Skytop 48.0% over its own city. The poverty rate is 48%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average household income of $40,517 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.1/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 7.7 to 9.1. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Average gross rent is $1,226, 18% above the Syracuse average of $1,039.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. That places it #16 of 26 neighborhoods in Syracuse. For a like-for-like read, Outer Comstock and Sedgwick score within a fraction of it.
62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
