The Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of Troy, NY, population 2,196. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.8/10, in the High tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Troy rate of 31.6%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 68% 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.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.8/10. SNAP participation is 23.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 26.7% of adults, 8.9 points above the national rate.
Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Troy, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hillview Heights and Sycaway.
Average gross rent runs $1,113, close to the Troy average.
One tract means one number: 9.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
