Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown North East

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Court records carry 108 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 2.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $67,469, annual rent is just 13%. It tracks the Erie County average of 4.3 closely. Average gross rent is $731, close to the North East average.
