Ten Hills Eviction Risk: Elevated

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs 31% against 24.9% citywide, putting Ten Hills 6.4% over its own city. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.4/10. At $2,998 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Somerville commands.

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.2/10. 4.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #9 of 10 neighborhoods in Somerville.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Winter Hill, Somerville, Massachusetts and Spring Hill. Its 4 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $118,731.

With little internal variation, 7.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
