Campus Eviction Risk: High , Westmere

What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 9.9/10. At $2,222 a month, rents run 83% over what the rest of Albany commands.

The voucher gap is 49.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Annualized rent equals 45% of average household income of $59,274, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Against the Albany County average of 6.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 93rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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