Pine Hills Eviction Risk: High , Albany

35% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 57% here against 42.1% across Albany County. This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10. At $1,350 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Albany commands. 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.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 5.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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