Albany Hill takes in 3 census tracts of Albany, CA and houses 8,366 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Albany rate of 27.9%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. 19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 6.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Westbrae and University Village. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes.
Average gross rent runs $2,497, close to the Albany average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $137,907.
49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 6.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
