Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Woodlawn
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,083, 32% below the Niskayuna average.
Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. Food insecurity runs 6.9% against 17.8% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.9/10.
Against average income of $113,811, annual rent is just 11%. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 4.5 points cooler.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
