Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Browncroft

The dominant input is local political climate at 7.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10.

Against the Monroe County average of 7.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally.

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 93rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $77,917, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters.

Average gross rent is $1,131, close to the Rochester average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
