Fairview is a one-tract quarter of Chicopee, MA, population 5,266. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, Elevated tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Chicopee rate of 30.8%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $1,294 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Chicopee commands.
That places it #3 of 6 neighborhoods in Chicopee. At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $64,038.
One tract means one number: 6.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
