· range 3.2–8.1
Woodlawn takes in 4 census tracts of Schenectady, NY and houses 13,422 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 8.1, a 4.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Cost burden runs 46% against 35.8% citywide, putting Woodlawn 10.1% over its own city. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10.
5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Schenectady, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third.
Against average income of $89,559, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,112, close to the Schenectady average. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
