Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Seneca

The main counterweight is economic stress at 2.4/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Against the Erie County average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.3/10.

That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $74,766, annual rent is just 18%. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,094, close to the West Seneca average. 31% 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.
