Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tonawanda Town

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. It sits 2.0 points below the Erie County average of 6.8.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. SNAP participation runs 6.8% against 15.2% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $79,127, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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