Arnett Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 3,190 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.9/10 · range 8.9–8.9

Arnett maps to a single census tract in Rochester, NY, population 3,190. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.9/10, in the High tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Rochester rate of 32.0%.

The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.

At $1,218 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Rochester commands. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. SNAP participation is 23.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

That places it #25 of 36 neighborhoods in Rochester. The closest comparables inside the same city are 19th Ward and Manhattan Square.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $65,167. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
