University Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated , Buffalo

At $638 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Eggertsville commands. On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Erie County average of 44.6%. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $48,884, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. It tracks the Erie County average of 6.8 closely.

45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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