Packard's Corner Eviction Risk: Elevated

Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 6.9 to 8.5. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 3.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate. That places it #5 of 10 neighborhoods in Brookline. For a like-for-like read, Corey Hill and Brookline Village score within a fraction of it.

Average gross rent runs $2,959, close to the Brookline average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $130,688. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
