Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Crown Hill
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Worcester eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Worcester County average of 6.0 and above the Massachusetts statewide average of 5.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 117 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 6.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.9% of renter households in 2015.
In CDC survey modeling, about 29.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 22.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
