Bellevue takes in 2 census tracts of Boston, MA and houses 8,501 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Boston baseline of 30.6%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
27% 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. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Court records carry 111 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate. 3.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 2.6% of renter households. Average gross rent is $2,350, 9% above the Boston average of $2,147.
Recent filings have not receded much: 1.8% in 2016 against a 2.6% peak. Among the 57 mapped neighborhoods of Boston, it ranks #50 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Readville and Inner Belt. Against average income of $152,269, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
With little internal variation, 6.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
