Providence Street Historic District Eviction Risk: High , Worcester

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Worcester County average of 5.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points. This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Housing insecurity runs 24.9% against 14.2% nationally.

The dominant input is local political climate at 7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 7/10. Court records carry 126 eviction filings across 1 observed years.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7/10. At $1,631 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Worcester commands. The worst year on record was 2015, when 7.1% of renter households were served.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
