Oak Hill Park maps to a single census tract in Newton, MA, population 4,525. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
Cost burden runs 38% against 27.2% citywide, putting Oak Hill Park 10.9% over its own city. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Court records for this tract carry 3 eviction filings. 2.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 0.8% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 0.7% in 2016 against a 0.8% peak. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Newton, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third. Only 13% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Poets' Corner and South Brookline. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
