Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.6/10.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Quincy. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.4/10. Against average income of $123,011, annual rent is just 12%.

Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler.

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.
