Westmere Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Albany County average of 6.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points.

The voucher gap is 18.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity runs 7.7% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.4 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 39% of renters.

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.
