Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Liberty Park
Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.8 points above the Rensselaer County average of 6.6.
The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $971, 20% below the Rensselaer average. Running hot, 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. That is riskier than roughly 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 39% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
