Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 JOSANA

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 51.8% against 17.8% nationally.

34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 30.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Against the Monroe County average of 7.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $30,058, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Average gross rent is $947, 12% below the Rochester average. 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
