Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Andover

The voucher gap is 37.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.7/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Essex County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. Cost burden runs 43% here against 50.7% across Essex County.

Food insecurity runs 6.3% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $176,957.

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.
