Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Framingham
SNAP participation runs 37.9% against 15.2% nationally. Against Middlesex County at 43.0%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened.
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. 76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
It sits 1.7 points above the Middlesex County average of 6.3. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.5/10.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,709 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Framingham commands.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 188 filings here across 5 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2013 at 4.9% of renter households.
In a typical year about 3.8% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
