North Central is a one-tract neighborhood of Troy, NY and houses 2,337 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.8/10, in the High tier. 43% 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.
69% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Troy rate of 31.6%. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation is 48.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 34.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
This is a renter market: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. At $1,054 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Troy commands.
That places it #1 of 12 neighborhoods in Troy.
One tract means one number: 9.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
