Downtown Jamestown Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 33% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Chautauqua County average of 43.9%. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.6/10.

9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Chautauqua County average of 6.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.

On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $65,412, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $792, close to the Jamestown average. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
