Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Genesee-Jefferson

Against Monroe County at 46.4%, 68% of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 51.4% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 59.1% against 15.2% nationally. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9/10. Against the Monroe County average of 7.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points.

The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $35,306, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $991, 8% below the Rochester average. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Rochester. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.9/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
