Liberty Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Rensselaer, NY and houses 2,719 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.4/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 39% against 25.3% citywide, putting Liberty Park 13.3% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. 24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $971 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Rensselaer commands.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.2/10. For a like-for-like read, Pastures and North Albany score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $48,423. 63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
