Westside maps to a single census tract in Syracuse, NY and houses 2,575 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.1/10, in the High tier. Against a Syracuse baseline of 32.9%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.3/10. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
83% 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. SNAP participation is 32.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
17.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. That places it #1 of 26 neighborhoods in Syracuse.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Near Westside and Brighton. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,000, close to the Syracuse average.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $38,731.
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.
