Northside Eviction Risk: Elevated , Schenectady

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.2/10. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Schenectady. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $88,954, annual rent is just 16%.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Schenectady County average of 6.6 closely. Average gross rent is $1,174, close to the Schenectady average. 45% 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.
