Little Italy Eviction Risk: High , Niagara Falls

SNAP participation runs 33.9% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 2.1 points above the Niagara County average of 6.4.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10.

Food insecurity runs 31.6% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

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.
