Pearl-Meigs-Monroe Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 2,178 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.5/10 · range 9.5–9.5

Pearl-Meigs-Monroe is a one-tract neighborhood of Rochester, NY, population 2,178. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.5/10, placing it in the High tier. 79% 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.

21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.

The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 34% of renter households.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. 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 Beechwood. Average gross rent runs $1,042, close to the Rochester average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $60,137.

One tract means one number: 9.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
