Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Stockade

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.2/10. Against the Schenectady County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

Cost burden runs 43% here against 48.2% across Schenectady County. 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 90% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,081, 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.
