Coolidge Corner takes in 2 census tracts of Brookline, MA, population 9,146. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 28.9% citywide, putting Coolidge Corner 14.2% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #6 of 10 neighborhoods in Brookline. The closest comparables inside the same city are Putterham and Aspinwall Hill.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $2,761, close to the Brookline average.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $127,927. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 6.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
