Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Park Avenue

It sits 1.8 points above the Monroe County average of 7.2. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 7.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10. On the high side, state political climate reads 7.3/10.

Average gross rent is $1,169, 8% above the Rochester average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
