Cheektowaga Eviction Risk: Moderate

16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 52% here against 44.6% across Erie County.

On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Erie County average of 6.8.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. At $955 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Cheektowaga commands.

Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $72,464, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
