Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Arbor Hill

It sits 3.0 points above the Albany County average of 6.9. SNAP participation runs 41.5% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $764, 37% below the Albany average.

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Housing insecurity runs 32.6% against 14.2% nationally.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Albany. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 7.7/10 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 hotter.

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.
