Kimball Towers and Court Eviction Risk: Elevated

5 census tracts · pop 26,430 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.6/10 · range 5.7–7.3

Kimball Towers and Court spans 5 census tracts of Woburn, MA and houses 26,430 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 32.0% citywide, putting Kimball Towers and Court 20.9% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.7/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.7 to 7.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 123 across 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.

3.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 5.1% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,164, close to the Woburn average.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
