Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rumsey Ridge

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10.

Against the Niagara County average of 6.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. SNAP participation runs 6.8% against 15.2% nationally.

Cost burden runs 37% here against 40.9% across Niagara County. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.5/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
