Buttonwood Village Eviction Risk: Elevated

The severe-burden share is 33%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The dominant input 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10.

Cost burden runs 36% against 30.6% citywide, putting Buttonwood Village 5.2% over its own city. The filing record is not thin: 5 evictions logged in this tract. 2.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

SNAP participation is 6.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 2.8% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2014, is well off that peak. That places it #50 of 57 neighborhoods in Boston.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.7/10 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.
