· range 7.7–7.7
Emerald Greens maps to a single census tract in Troy, NY and houses 2,999 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.8/10.
Average gross rent is $1,397, 19% above the Troy average of $1,175. 13% 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.
Cost burden runs 28% against 31.6% citywide, putting Emerald Greens 3.3% under its own city. 4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Food insecurity affects 9.1% of adults, 8.7 points below the national rate. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Troy, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.7/10 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.
