Aldenville Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,165 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.2/10 · range 6.2–6.2

Aldenville is a one-tract suburb of Chicopee, MA and houses 4,165 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. 82% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Chicopee rate of 30.8%.

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. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.

Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Chicopee, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are The Commons and Springfield Street Historic District. Against average income of $71,986, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.

Average gross rent runs $1,089, close to the Chicopee average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.2/10 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.
