Barnstable Town Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Against the Barnstable County average of 4.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 5.4% against 14.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 19 filings here across 2 tracked years. At $2,186 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Barnstable Town commands.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 4.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10.

Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.6 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
