Dedham Eviction Risk: Moderate

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10.

Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Norfolk County average of 5.6 closely. Average gross rent is $2,193, close to the Dedham average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
