Atlantic Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 4,653 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.5/10 · range 8.5–8.5

Atlantic is a one-tract neighborhood of Quincy, MA, population 4,653. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.5/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 29.5% citywide, putting Atlantic 21.0% over its own city.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.5/10. At $1,915 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Quincy commands.

That places it #1 of 8 neighborhoods in Quincy. The closest comparables inside the same city are Quincy Center and Montclair. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $74,408. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
