Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Walpole
23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Norfolk County average of 5.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.4/10. Food insecurity runs 7.5% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.1/10.
SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $156,656, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.4 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
