Four Corners takes in 2 census tracts of East Pepperell, MA and houses 7,629 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,273, 40% above the East Pepperell average of $1,620.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.4 to 5, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Court records carry 76 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Cost burden runs 21% against 25.7% citywide, putting Four Corners 4.3% under its own city. Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10.
SNAP participation is 6.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 4.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
