Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brockton
Against Plymouth County at 46.6%, 82% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.6/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 53 filings here across 1 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 8.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 8.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
