Ware Center Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate
1 census tracts · pop 6,519 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7
Ware Center Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Ware, MA and houses 6,519 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 42% 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.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Cost burden runs 42% against 34.8% citywide, putting Ware Center Historic District 7.4% over its own city.
Court records for this tract carry 381 eviction filings. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.6/10.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 12.0% of renter households. 4.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Average gross rent is $1,142, 10% above the Ware average of $1,039. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.0% in 2016 against a 12.0% peak. At 9% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $93,274, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
