Braintree Town Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.3/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10. Against the Norfolk County average of 5.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.

Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Braintree. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.

Average gross rent is $1,990, close to the Braintree Town average. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $127,000.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
