HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Delaware Avenue

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8/10. Cost burden runs 34% here against 42.1% across Albany County. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Average gross rent is $1,183, close to the Albany average.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $77,773. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
