Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Convention District

This is renter territory: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. It sits 2.0 points above the Monroe County average of 7.2. Average gross rent is $1,384, 28% above the Rochester average.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 7.5/10.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.3/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10.

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.
