Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
about a quarter of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, lower than the Albany rate of 30.8%. 14.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure.
