Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Rotterdam
18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against Schenectady County at 48.2%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Schenectady County average of 6.6. Food insecurity runs 9.8% against 17.8% nationally.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,362, close to the Rotterdam average.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $75,768. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
