Little Neck is a one-tract neighborhood of Ipswich, MA and houses 3,912 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Ipswich rate of 24.6%.
26% 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. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 2.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
At $1,321 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Ipswich commands. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
