Framingham Eviction Risk: High

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Set annual rent against average income of $76,538 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. It sits 1.7 points above the Middlesex County average of 6.3. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.5/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

Average gross rent is $2,142, close to the Framingham average.

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.
