Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Prattville

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Cost burden runs 61% here against 47.0% across Suffolk County. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.3/10. Housing insecurity runs 23.4% against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 26.8% against 17.8% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 150 filings here across 5 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 3.7% of renter households. At $1,786 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Chelsea commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
