Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Campus
Cost burden runs 32% here against 42.1% across Albany County. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10.
Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally.
Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 0.8 points below the Albany County average of 6.9.
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. That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,507, close to the Westmere average.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
