Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Love Canal

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10. Against Niagara County at 40.9%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened.

At $1,003 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Niagara Falls commands. It sits 1.0 points above the Niagara County average of 6.4.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 #10,727 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $50,538.
