Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rotterdam

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Against the Schenectady County average of 6.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points.

On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Schenectady County average of 48.2%. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally. At $1,138 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Rotterdam commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10.
