Lasell Village takes in 2 census tracts of Newton, MA, population 10,703. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 27.2% citywide, putting Lasell Village 24.0% over its own city.
30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Filings are well documented here: 28 across 2 observed tracts. Food insecurity affects 6.6% of adults, 11.2 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 6.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 1.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 0.8% in 2016 against a 1.0% peak. That places it #8 of 11 neighborhoods in Newton.
Only 27% 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. For a like-for-like read, Night Caps Corner and Thompsonville score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
