Arbor Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of Albany, NY, population 2,374. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.9/10, placing it in the High tier. 60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Albany rate of 30.8%.
Average gross rent is $764, 37% below the Albany average of $1,216. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 32.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 38.7% of adults, 20.9 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
15% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Albany, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are South End and Pine Hills.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $34,160.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
