Park Avenue spans 3 census tracts of Rochester, NY and houses 8,449 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.6/10, High tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Rochester rate of 32.0%.
82% 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. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 7.5 to 9.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The strongest single driver of the headline number is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,268, 17% above the Rochester average of $1,081.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
4.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate.
Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of Rochester, it ranks #28 by risk, the lower third. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $59,747.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
