Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Whitehall

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.8 points above the Albany County average of 6.9.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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. Nationally it ranks #9,433 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2/10.

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.
