Barnstable Town Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.7/10. The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Barnstable County average of 4.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.8/10. Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 20 eviction filings across 2 observed years.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2015 at 9.1% of renter households.

In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 12% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $126,838, annual rent is just 17%.

Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.5 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
