Charter Street Historic District Eviction Risk: High , Salem

The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $52,250 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Essex County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.4/10. SNAP participation runs 28.6% against 15.2% nationally.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. Food insecurity runs 25.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,668, 9% below the Salem average. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
