Putterham Eviction Risk: Elevated

30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 40% against 28.9% citywide, putting Putterham 11.1% over its own city. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10.

The voucher gap is 21.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At $3,436 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Brookline commands. Disability prevalence reaches 19.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

SNAP participation is 6.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.1/10. That places it #7 of 10 neighborhoods in Brookline.

For a like-for-like read, Aspinwall Hill and Coolidge Corner score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $247,663, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
