Avalon Oaks takes in 2 census tracts of Wilmington, MA, population 8,857. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Wilmington rate of 32.1%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Average gross rent is $2,859, 19% above the Wilmington average of $2,394. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. Court records carry 88 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
3.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 7.7% of adults, 10.1 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 6.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2016, is well off that peak.
At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $162,157.
With little internal variation, 3.6/10 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.
