Hayden Row Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,603 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5

Hayden Row is a one-tract neighborhood of Hopkinton, MA, population 6,603. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. 70% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Hopkinton rate of 32.9%.

At $3,077 a month, rents sit 152% over what the rest of Hopkinton commands. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.

2.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
