Belchertown Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is court filing pressure at 0.6/10. Against the Hampshire County average of 5.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.1 points.

Against Hampshire County at 46.3%, roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.1/10. Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.2% against 11.3% nationally. Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $117,610, annual rent is just 14%. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.7 points cooler.

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.
