Skyview Village Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 10,777 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.7/10 · range 7–8

Skyview Village is a 3-tract neighborhood of Brockton, MA, population 10,777. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, Elevated tier. At $814 a month, rents sit 50% under what the rest of Brockton commands.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10.

SNAP participation is 29.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Against a Brockton baseline of 32.3%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 7 to 8, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 37 eviction filings.

Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 12.3% of renter households.

Judgments average 2.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
