Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Beechwood

Against the Monroe County average of 7.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. Food insecurity runs 36.6% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Cost burden runs 55% here against 46.4% across Monroe County. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 7.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10. Running hot, economic stress reads 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,199, 11% 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 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $51,500.
