West End Eviction Risk: Lower

At $3,375 a month, rents sit 112% over what the rest of Newburyport commands. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 71.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Food insecurity affects 5.8% of adults, 12.0 points below the national rate.

2.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Newburyport, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. Only 3% 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.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Squires Glen and Plumbush. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
