Jeffries Point spans 2 census tracts of Boston, MA and houses 3,273 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.8/10, Elevated tier. 76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,702, 26% above the Boston average of $2,147.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records for this tract carry 86 eviction filings. Disability prevalence reaches 18.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 2.7% of renter households. 5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.1% in 2016 against a 2.7% peak.
