Skunk City Eviction Risk: Elevated , Syracuse

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,313, 26% above the Syracuse average.

On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Food insecurity runs 8.0% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $105,938, annual rent is just 15%.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.
