Ware Millyard Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Ware, MA and houses 3,643 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 34.8% citywide, putting Ware Millyard Historic District 18.7% over its own city.

SNAP participation is 35.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.

The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
