Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hudson

Against the Middlesex County average of 6.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.5 points. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.5/10. Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 109 evictions over 5 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.0% against 11.3% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 5.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
