Buckingham Place takes in 2 census tracts of Braintree Town, MA and houses 11,775 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
At $1,578 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Braintree Town commands. 33% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
3.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At 9% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Liberty Heights and Teaberry. Against average income of $123,054, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
