Lincoln Park Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 2,591 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.5/10 · range 9.5–9.5

Lincoln Park maps to a single census tract in Rochester, NY and houses 2,591 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.5/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 55%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

69% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Rochester rate of 32.0%. SNAP participation is 51.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

27.1% 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. Set annual rent against average household income of $28,766 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

75% 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 poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.4/10.

Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of Rochester, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mayor's Heights and Historic Grove Street Neighborhood. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,040, close to the Rochester average.

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.
