Court Park spans 2 census tracts of Boston, MA and houses 4,571 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 43% 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.
Against a Boston baseline of 30.6%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4.8 to 8. A 3.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 75 evictions logged in this tract.
At $1,811 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Boston commands. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 3.7% of renter households. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #58 of 57 neighborhoods in Boston.
For a like-for-like read, Inner Belt and Neponset score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $105,159.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
