Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Hill

Against the Rensselaer County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 3.2 points. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.

Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.8/10. Food insecurity runs 26.7% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 23.6% against 15.2% nationally. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Troy. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
