Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in La Avenida

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 50.9% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 53.1% against 15.2% nationally. Against Monroe County at 46.4%, 61% of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Monroe County average of 7.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. At $942 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Rochester 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.

Nationally it ranks #2,657 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
