What drives eviction risk in Greater Kahkwa
30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
It sits 0.9 points below the Erie County average of 4.3. Court records carry 78 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when 2.5% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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. In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $73,333, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
