Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Woodlawn

Against Schenectady County at 48.2%, 84% of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Schenectady County average of 6.6.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $101,522, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,209, close to the Schenectady average.

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