Worcester Eviction Risk: High

The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 2.4/10.

53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Worcester County average of 44.4%. On the high side, local political climate reads 7/10. SNAP participation runs 24.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 72 filings here across 1 tracked years. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 7/10.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 5.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,374, close to the Worcester average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $69,712.

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.
