Pittsfield Eviction Risk: Elevated

73% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Berkshire County average of 46.7%. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.6/10. Against the Berkshire County average of 5.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 76 evictions over 10 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2013 at 3.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 6.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,098, close to the Pittsfield average.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $46,947. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
