Rensselaer Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. The voucher gap is 35.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.6/10. 30% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Rensselaer County average of 38.8%. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Food insecurity runs 7.2% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the Rensselaer County average of 6.6.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally. 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 #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.

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.
