Dutchtown Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 4,386 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.5/10 · range 9.5–9.5

Dutchtown is a 2-tract neighborhood of Rochester, NY and houses 4,386 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.5/10, in the High tier. 45% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Against a Rochester baseline of 32.0%, 66% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 30.8% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 54%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average household income of $28,212 and the ratio lands at 46%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is a renter market: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Disability prevalence reaches 47.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of Rochester, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Mayor's Heights and Beechwood score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

With little internal variation, 9.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
