Pine Point Eviction Risk: Elevated , Springfield

SNAP participation runs 45.6% against 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Hampden County average of 5.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points.

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.5/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $34,881, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Disability prevalence runs 44.0% against 31.5% nationally. At $988 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Springfield commands.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7/10. On the national scale it lands near the 90th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most 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.
