Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brighton

What moves this score most is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Syracuse eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Onondaga County average of 5.9 and above the New York statewide average of 6.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is Hispanic or Latino and Black and ranks around the 82nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of B ("Still Desirable"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
