Westside Eviction Risk: Elevated , Binghamton

At $1,380 a month, rents run 59% over what the rest of Binghamton commands. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 8.5% against 17.8% nationally. The voucher gap is 16.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.

Nationally it ranks #15,451 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 21% 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. Social vulnerability reads 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $94,114, annual rent is just 18%. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

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.
