Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade A meant wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods favored for lending. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Buckingham Lake

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Albany County average of 6.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.1% against 11.3% nationally. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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.

Nationally it ranks #8,653 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
