Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Prattville
64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Middlesex County average of 43.0%. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Against the Middlesex County average of 6.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.4 points.
Set annual rent against average income of $63,652 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 72% 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. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.3/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Food insecurity runs 28.7% against 17.8% nationally.
Housing insecurity runs 24.3% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,889, 9% below the Everett average.
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.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
