Crown Hill Eviction Risk: High

SNAP participation is 49.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.5/10.

90% 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. Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 29.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

22% 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. Average gross rent is $1,156, 22% below the Worcester average of $1,487. Court records for this tract carry 117 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 6.9% of renter households. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10.

One tract means one number: 8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
