Prattville Eviction Risk: High

5 census tracts · pop 19,888 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.5/10 · range 6.9–8.7

Prattville takes in 5 census tracts of Everett, MA and houses 19,888 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.5/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 33.4% citywide, putting Prattville 17.2% over its own city.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.9 to 8.7, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.

SNAP participation is 27.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 656 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 7.3% of renter households. At $1,907 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Everett commands. The most recent observed rate, 3.2% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $83,108.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
