Weir Village is a 4-tract suburb of Taunton, MA and houses 19,931 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.2/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs about half against 32.8% citywide, putting Weir Village 18.5% over its own city.
32% 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.

Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 6.5 to 7.5. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10. Court records carry 276 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 6.3% of renter households. Judgments average 1.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,346, close to the Taunton average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $60,705.
59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
