Brewster Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.3/10. Average gross rent is $1,556, 22% above the Brewster average. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Food insecurity runs 6.6% against 17.8% nationally. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Barnstable County average of 48.4%.

Court records carry 8 eviction filings across 2 observed years. SNAP participation runs 7.7% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2016, when 3.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.

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