What drives eviction risk in Kaisertown
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 2.3/10. Average gross rent is $856, 23% below the West Seneca average. Cost burden runs 52% here against 44.6% across Erie County.
On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.3/10. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Buffalo. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.8/10.
Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $67,986, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Erie County average of 6.8 closely. 32% 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.
