Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Northside

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,614, 10% above the East Glenville average.

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. Nationally it ranks #17,650 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.4/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

It tracks the Schenectady County average of 6.6 closely. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $77,566. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
