Little Italy Eviction Risk: Elevated , Niagara Falls

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

32% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Niagara County average of 40.9%. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Niagara County average of 6.4. At $890 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Niagara Falls commands.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Niagara Falls. 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 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $52,269. 27% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
