Elmwood Village Eviction Risk: High , Buffalo

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Erie County average of 6.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8/10.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 26.8% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 24.4% against 14.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $889, 15% below the Buffalo average.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
