Aspinwall Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of Brookline, MA, population 5,216. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.7/10, in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.
70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 28% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 5.5% of adults, 12.3 points below the national rate. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Brookline, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Putterham and Coolidge Corner score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $2,977, close to the Brookline average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $158,169.
One tract means one number: 6.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
