First Ward Eviction Risk: High , Binghamton

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 44.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Cost burden runs 62% here against 45.5% across Broome County. The poverty rate is 68%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Broome County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10.

89% 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. Food insecurity runs 37.2% against 17.8% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $32,832 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,045, 20% above the Binghamton average. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 96% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
