Milton Hill Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,204 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.8–3.8

Milton Hill maps to a single census tract in Milton, MA, population 5,204. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 28.1% citywide, putting Milton Hill 29.2% over its own city.

At $1,983 a month, rents sit 35% over what the rest of Milton commands. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. 23% 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.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10. 3.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate.

That places it #2 of 5 neighborhoods in Milton. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.8/10 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.
