Little Italy maps to a single census tract in Troy, NY and houses 1,403 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.1/10, High tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Troy rate of 31.6%.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.8/10.
The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.
Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Troy, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,122, close to the Troy average. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.1/10 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.
