Pinefield maps to a single census tract in Framingham, MA, population 6,332. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
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. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. Court records for this tract carry 42 eviction filings. Food insecurity affects 7.1% of adults, 10.7 points below the national rate.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 34% of renter households. 3.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 5.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 5.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
