South Troy takes in 2 census tracts of Troy, NY and houses 7,005 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.8/10, placing it in the High tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Troy rate of 31.6%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. 24% 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.
67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.8/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.4/10. SNAP participation is 24.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Troy, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,144, close to the Troy average.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $55,407.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
