Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Yarmouth
29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10. Against the Barnstable County average of 4.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.3/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 20 evictions over 2 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 24% 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.
