At $642 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Quincy commands. SNAP participation is 30.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. Food insecurity affects 25.9% of adults, 8.1 points above the national rate. The closest comparables inside the same city are Melrose and Hillside Manor.
Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
