Mundale maps to a single census tract in Westfield, MA and houses 4,733 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,504, 35% above the Westfield average of $1,117. 27% 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. Cost burden runs 37% against 28.5% citywide, putting Mundale 8.7% over its own city.
3.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate.
Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Westfield, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. Only 8% 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. Against average income of $114,176, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
