Arlington-Basswood Historic District is a 8-tract neighborhood of Lawrence, MA, population 39,797. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Lawrence baseline of 34.9%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
33% 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 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.9 to 9, a 3.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. SNAP participation is 29.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,510, 9% below the Lawrence average of $1,662.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Lawrence, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $69,951.
54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
