Analysis

What drives eviction risk in General Electric Realty Plot

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.2/10. Against the Schenectady County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters. Average gross rent is $1,078, close to the Schenectady average.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $66,382. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
