Cheektowaga Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Erie County average of 6.8. On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.9/10. Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $933, 12% below the Cheektowaga average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 23% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $74,574, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points cooler.

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