Beechwood takes in 2 census tracts of Rochester, NY, population 5,293. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.5/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,228, 14% above the Rochester average of $1,081. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.
