HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hillview Heights

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Cost burden runs 51% here against 38.8% across Rensselaer County. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, economic stress reads 8.8/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.8/10. SNAP participation runs 25.1% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 25.9% against 17.8% nationally.

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 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

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