Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Buffalo
At $2,893 a month, rents run 66% over what the rest of Spring Valley commands. The voucher gap is 65.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.1/10.
Against Clark County at 50.7%, 63% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.
The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 10.5% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
It tracks the Clark County average of 4.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $115,563.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
