Saugerties Eviction Risk: Elevated

At $1,689 a month, rents run 45% over what the rest of Saugerties commands. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #13,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Ulster County average of 6.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $101,063.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
