Longmeadow Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 14,518 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3–3.7

Longmeadow Historic District takes in 3 census tracts of Longmeadow, MA and houses 14,518 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. At $2,592 a month, rents sit 54% over what the rest of Longmeadow commands.

The voucher gap is 73.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Cost burden runs 44% against 36.1% citywide, putting Longmeadow Historic District 7.8% over its own city. 10% 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. 3.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $129,266.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
