Brown Square Eviction Risk: High
1 census tracts · pop 2,480 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.5/10 · range 9.5–9.5
Brown Square is a one-tract neighborhood of Rochester, NY, population 2,480. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.5/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 32.0% citywide, putting Brown Square 29.0% over its own city.
88% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 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 poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 28.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2/10.
18.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.8/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Average gross rent is $994, 8% below the Rochester average of $1,081. Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of Rochester, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $38,635.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.5/10 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.
