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 Mayor's Heights

SNAP participation runs 48.7% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 35.9% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 2.3 points above the Monroe County average of 7.2. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $34,157, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.9/10.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10. At $991 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Rochester commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

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.
