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.
