Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cobbs Hill

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10.

It sits 1.2 points below the Monroe County average of 7.2. Against Monroe County at 46.4%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened. SNAP participation runs 5.0% against 15.2% nationally.

On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.0% against 11.3% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,231, 9% below the Brighton average. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Rochester. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $84,375, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
