Analysis

What drives eviction risk in First Ward

Against the Broome County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #3,082 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
