Church Street-Cady Hill Historic District Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,985 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.8/10 · range 7.8–7.8

Church Street-Cady Hill Historic District maps to a single census tract in North Adams, MA, population 4,985. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a North Adams baseline of 35.8%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10. 25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 415 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 6.2% of renter households. SNAP participation is 23.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The most recent observed rate, 3.0% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Average gross rent runs $786, close to the North Adams average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $43,373.

One tract means one number: 7.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
