South Troy Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 2,849 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.9/10 · range 8.9–8.9

South Troy maps to a single census tract in Watervliet, NY and houses 2,849 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.9/10, in the High tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.

The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 28% of renter households.

The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.1/10. At $1,171 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Watervliet commands. Against average income of $73,941, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 8.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
