Hyannis Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 6,698 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.4/10 · range 5.8–7.1

Hyannis Park is a 2-tract neighborhood of Barnstable Town, MA, population 6,698. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.4/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 43%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Barnstable Town rate of 37.5%. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 5.8 to 7.1. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 84 across 2 observed tracts.

Average gross rent is $1,624, 15% below the Barnstable Town average of $1,917. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households. 5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Judgments average 2.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
