The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 34.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Food insecurity affects 32.6% of adults, 14.8 points above the national rate. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Average gross rent is $963, 11% below the Rochester average of $1,081.

Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of Rochester, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Beechwood and Historic Grove Street Neighborhood score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 3 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. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
