East Village Historic District Eviction Risk: Elevated

Against a Amherst Town baseline of 41.1%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filings are well documented here: 258 across 3 observed tracts. At $1,427 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Amherst Town commands.

The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 3.2% of renter households. 4.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Amherst Town, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, North Amherst and Amherst Center score within a fraction of it.

The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes. 63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
