Browncroft is a 2-tract neighborhood of Brighton, NY, population 6,635. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7/10, in the Elevated tier. 46% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Brighton rate of 29.8%. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.3 to 8.4, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,162, 14% below the Brighton average of $1,350.
Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate. 4.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Brighton, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Upper Monroe and Cobbs Hill score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
