Warrendale Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.

Average gross rent is $1,803, 21% below the Waltham average of $2,268. Cost burden runs 23% against 27.8% citywide, putting Warrendale 5.2% under its own city.

The filing record is not thin: 16 evictions logged in this tract. Food insecurity affects 7.7% of adults, 10.1 points below the national rate.

3.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 1.6% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 1.3% in 2016 against a 1.6% peak. That places it #8 of 8 neighborhoods in Waltham.

At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 16% 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.

One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
