1 census tracts · pop 5,745 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 7.3–7.3

Bradford-Union Street Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Plymouth, MA, population 5,745. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. 40% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Plymouth rate of 31.0%. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10.

Court records for this tract carry 24 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.6/10.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.5% of renter households. 4.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Judgments average 1.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Average gross rent runs $1,820, close to the Plymouth average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $95,357.

32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
