Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pearl-Meigs-Monroe
Against Monroe County at 46.4%, 34% of renters here are cost-burdened. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. Nationally it ranks #2,657 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.2/10.
Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
