Braintree Town Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.3/10. It sits 0.7 points below the Norfolk County average of 5.6. At $1,816 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Braintree Town commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $94,107.
