Downtown Binghamton Eviction Risk: High

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 59%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

It sits 2.6 points above the Broome County average of 6.7. This is renter territory: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Food insecurity runs 34.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Against Broome County at 45.5%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. At $719 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Binghamton commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Binghamton-Johnson City. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

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