Upper Monroe spans 2 census tracts of Brighton, NY, population 7,492. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 39% against 29.8% citywide, putting Upper Monroe 9.3% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.5 to 8.2, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.4/10.
10% 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. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.8/10.
Food insecurity affects 8.1% of adults, 9.7 points below the national rate. 4.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Average gross rent is $1,232, 9% below the Brighton average of $1,350.
Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Brighton, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Browncroft and Cobbs Hill.
Against average income of $76,218, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. 64% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.2 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.
