What drives eviction risk in Prattville
Against the Middlesex County average of 6.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.4 points. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.3/10. SNAP participation runs 26.7% against 15.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Cost burden runs 48% here against 43.0% across Middlesex County.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Everett. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
