Love Canal Eviction Risk: Elevated , Niagara Falls

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Against the Niagara County average of 6.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5/10. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $70,307, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters. Average gross rent is $774, close to the Niagara Falls average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
