Eastside is a one-tract neighborhood of Troy, NY and houses 3,599 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
Cost burden runs 20% against 31.6% citywide, putting Eastside 11.3% under its own city. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.8/10.
9% 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. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Troy, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third.
Against average income of $88,919, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,122, close to the Troy average. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 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.
