West Springfield Town Eviction Risk: Lower

It sits 1.9 points below the Hampden County average of 5.8. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 8.5% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.9/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.5% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 2% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $122,598, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
