Cost burden runs 48% against 34.8% citywide, putting Alpine Heights 13.5% over its own city. 33% 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.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 5.5 to 7.2. A 1.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 3/10.
Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
