JOSANA Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 1,413 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.5/10 · range 9.5–9.5

JOSANA maps to a single census tract in Rochester, NY, population 1,413. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.5/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 84% against 32.0% citywide, putting JOSANA 52.3% over its own city.

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 45%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Set annual rent against average household income of $30,058 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.

Disability prevalence reaches 46.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.

Average gross rent is $947, 12% below the Rochester average of $1,081. 18.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #1 of 36 neighborhoods in Rochester. For a like-for-like read, Mayor's Heights and Beechwood score within a fraction of it.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
