Brush Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of Milton, MA, population 4,307. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 43%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Milton rate of 28.1%. At $2,002 a month, rents sit 36% over what the rest of Milton commands.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Milton, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Quisset Brook and Forbes Wharf score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $188,523, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
