Peabody Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. Average gross rent is $2,234, 15% above the Peabody average. The voucher gap is 13.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters. It tracks the Essex County average of 6.0 closely.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $113,256. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
