North Amherst Eviction Risk: Elevated , Amherst Town

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 7.8/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Amherst Town eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Hampshire County average of 4.9 and in line with the Massachusetts statewide average of 5.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 45th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 251 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 1.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.6% of renter households in 2008.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
