Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pastures
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Rensselaer County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Cost burden runs 29% here against 38.8% across Rensselaer County. Running hot, economic stress reads 7.8/10.
The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 #5,730 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.9/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
Average gross rent is $1,182, close to the Rensselaer average.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
