Readville Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against a Dedham baseline of 33.2%, about one in five of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. 13% 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.

3.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate. Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Dedham Square and Stonybrook Village. Against average income of $148,352, annual rent is only 6%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 5.1/10 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.
