East Albany maps to a single census tract in Albany, GA, population 2,771. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. 64% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Albany rate of 29.7%.
SNAP participation is 46.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 26.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
31% 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 strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.3/10. The poverty rate is 37%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $32,944 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. That places it #4 of 14 neighborhoods in Albany.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $906, close to the Albany average.
61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
