Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Beverwyck

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8/10.

On the high side, economic stress reads 7.7/10. 49% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Albany County average of 42.1%.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Albany. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
