Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Audubon Circle
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Boston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
Model confidence here is 45%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point. It tracks the Suffolk County average of 7.9 closely.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
