Prattville Eviction Risk: Elevated

5 census tracts · pop 26,092 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.1/10 · range 5.9–8.7

Prattville takes in 5 census tracts of Revere, MA and houses 26,092 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 33.9% citywide, putting Prattville 16.1% over its own city.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. 29% 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.

Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 5.9 to 8.7. A 2.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 312 across 2 observed tracts. At $1,810 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Revere commands.

Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 5.9% of renter households. Judgments average 1.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $83,865.

39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
