Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Peabody

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Essex County average of 50.7%. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.3/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. At $1,604 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Peabody commands. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 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 least pressured. It tracks the Essex County average of 6.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $101,777.

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.
