Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade A meant wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods favored for lending. 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 Whitehall

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 42.1% across Albany County.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. At $1,426 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Albany commands.

It sits 1.0 points above the Albany County average of 6.9. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.6% against 11.3% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 6.9% against 14.2% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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.

Nationally it ranks #8,653 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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