Wollaston Heights maps to a single census tract in Quincy, MA and houses 6,133 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 66% against 29.5% citywide, putting Wollaston Heights 36.5% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.
The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Average gross rent is $1,882, 11% below the Quincy average of $2,118.
That places it #6 of 8 neighborhoods in Quincy. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $102,016. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 7.3/10 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.
