Orient Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 7 to 8.3, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure 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. At $1,787 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Boston commands.

Filings are well documented here: 274 across 3 observed tracts. Against a Boston baseline of 30.6%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 3.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 57 mapped neighborhoods of Boston, it ranks #34 by risk, the middle third. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $86,944.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
