Fields at Chestnut Eviction Risk: Lower , Longmeadow

Against the Hampden County average of 5.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.8 points. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. Food insecurity runs 5.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 2.4% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 4.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 3% of average household income of $185,565, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 3.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
