Barry's Corner Eviction Risk: High

Average gross rent is $3,501, 63% above the Boston average of $2,147. Annualized rent equals 47% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is a renter market: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. The voucher gap is 23.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10.

The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Disability prevalence reaches 18.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

4.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 57 mapped neighborhoods of Boston, it ranks #18 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Church Green and Lower Mills.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
