Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Randolph Town
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Norfolk County average of 48.1%.
Running cool, economic stress reads 2.3/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.1/10.
Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 7.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $76,776, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Norfolk County average of 5.6 closely.
