Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The filing record is not thin: 107 evictions logged in this tract. 3.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 1.7% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate.

The closest comparables inside the same city are The Flats and Ashmont.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
