Albany Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,128 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Albany commands.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 339 evictions over 16 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 5.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Linn County average of 5.7 closely.

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