Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Upper Monroe

This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 7.5/10.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Monroe County average of 7.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,171, 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. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
