University Heights Eviction Risk: High , Buffalo

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 #5,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.1/10, 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.
