Trainfield Eviction Risk: Moderate , Westfield

The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 28.4% against 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.9/10.

roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Hampden County average of 46.5%. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.9/10.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Hampden County average of 5.8 closely. Average gross rent is $1,182, close to the Westfield average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $54,725. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
