· range 6.2–6.2
West End maps to a single census tract in Provincetown, MA, population 3,630. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 59% against 33.4% citywide, putting West End 26.0% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 20 evictions logged in this tract. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.4/10.
3.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 1.6% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 2.7% in 2016 against a 1.6% peak. Against average income of $104,500, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $1,306, close to the Provincetown average. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
