Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Upper Mount Hope

The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 84% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 7.6/10.

Average gross rent is $1,324, 22% above the Rochester average. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Rochester. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #2,657 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $56,923.
