Corey Hill is a 2-tract neighborhood of Brookline, MA, population 6,216. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.
40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Brookline rate of 28.9%. The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 6.4 to 8.5. A 2.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
66% 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. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
Food insecurity affects 6.7% of adults, 11.1 points below the national rate. 4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
At $2,532 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Brookline commands. That places it #3 of 10 neighborhoods in Brookline.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $143,717.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
