Edgerton Eviction Risk: High

3 census tracts · pop 11,064 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.5/10 · range 9.5–9.5

Edgerton spans 3 census tracts of Rochester, NY, population 11,064. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.5/10, in the High tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Rochester rate of 32.0%.

The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.9/10.

Food insecurity affects 48.8% of adults, 31.0 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 41%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

This is a renter market: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.

At $908 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Rochester commands. Disability prevalence reaches 43.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of Rochester, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

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.
