Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West Wareham
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 2.1 points above the Plymouth County average of 5.2.
Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.2/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 25 filings here across 1 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 7.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 7.0% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.8/10.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
